If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and after
reconnection, the tool should comply with all local
codes and ordinances.
6.2 Voltage conversion
To convert machine to 230 volt input operation:
1. See Figure 6-2. Remove control box panel and
change wire connections for the PC Board (A);
Digital Readout (B); and Transformer (C).
Figure 6-2: Voltage conversion
2. Hardwire the machine to the service panel in
accordance with the new voltage, or replace
plug on end of motor cord with an appropriate
plug for 230-volt operation.
3. Install control box panel.
6.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, be
sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 2 shows recommended size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

7.0 Adjustments
Disconnect machine from
power source before making adjustments,
unless indicated otherwise.
7.1 Removing and installing arbors
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Remove spindle cap to expose drawbar (Figure
7-1)
3. Place speed lever (see D, Figure 8-1) to low
speed range (black).
4. Loosen drawbar with provided socket wrench
counterclockwise 2 or 3 full turns.
Figure 7-1
5. Tap drawbar head with rubber mallet to
dislodge arbor.
Do not loosen drawbar
more than 3 or 4 turns before hitting with
rubber mallet, or damage to drawbar threads
may occur.
