I am switching the voltage on this 1.5HP table saw motor from 120V to 240V and would appreciate a second opinion on my understanding of this diagram. The motor is running in reverse rotation on this saw as the motor was wired with motor leads 5 & 8 reversed from 120V diagram.
So, I am planning on connecting one line voltage wire (black) to motor leads 2,4,8 (8 due to reverse rotation), and the second line wire (black) to motor lead 1. Motor leads 2,3,5 would then be connected together, but not connected to line voltage (power source).
Am I reading this correctly?
Also, I am going to be replacing the old light switch with a safety switch. This is on a table saw. Any recommendations for a fence rail mounted safety switch? I’d prefer a dual voltage switch, but 240V only would be fine as well. The main problem with the ones I’m finding, according to reviews, seems to be the incompatibility with readily available junction boxes. Is there a recommended model that has it’s own junction box?
