Hi,
Has anybody rewired this particular JET dust collector to 220 Volts? I
followed the directions in the manual, and when it was turned on, it
made a humming sound, not the wonderful sucking sound that it made on
110, but something that does not sound right at all. Just previously i
rewired my grizzly bandsaw to 220 with the aid of a less helpful
diagram, and no problems. So I am at a loss as to why the dust
collector not be a working. To those who have rewired this type of
appliance to 220, is there something else that needs to be altered
besides what is presented in the manual?
thanks
The Rewirer
PS a search on rec.woodworking did notyield the specific information

Don't know about this tool, but some tools (the Delta A400 DC, or Grizzly 6"
jointers) have 120v only switches. I don't know exactly how that would
affect the motor, but I wouldn't want to try it.
