Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu- larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician.
The Model G0560 can be rewired to operate on a 220V power source. The motor must be rewired according to the wiring diagram on the motor label. The wiring configuration can also be found on the inside of the motor wire cover, as well as on page 33.
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and the rewiring job should be inspected by a licensed electrician before turning the machine ON.
Grounding
Electrocution or a fire can result if the machine is not grounded correct- ly. Make sure all electri- cal circuits are ground- ed. DO NOT use the machine if it is not grounded.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the grounding conductor.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur- rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has an
Extension Cords
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with this machine:
•Only use a cord that is rated for standard ser- vice (Grade S).
•Only use a cord that contains a grounding prong.
•Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50 feet long or less.
•Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is between
•Always repair or replace cords when they become worn or damaged.
We DO NOT recommend using an extension cord if you are operating your bandsaw on a 220V power source.
