Circuit Requirements, Model G3619 Model G9963

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Model G3619		Model G9963

The Model G3619 Bandsaw is pre-wired for sin- gle-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the Model G3619 5 HP motor draws approximately 22 amps. We recommend a 30 amp circuit. This includes a 30 amp circuit breaker and wiring rated for at least 30 amps. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while providing enough protection against damage caused by an overloaded circuit. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.

This bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated circuit; it should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the Model G3619.

This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-30 plug and outlet similar to Figure 1. You may also “hard- wire” the bandsaw directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine.

The Model G9963 Bandsaw is pre-wired for single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the Model G9963 7.5 HP motor draws approxi- mately 33 amps. We recommend using a 50 amp circuit. This includes a 50 amp circuit breaker and wiring rated for at least 50 amps. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department or your local elec- trical contractor.

This bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated circuit; it should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the Model G9963.

This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug. We recommend “hard-wiring” the bandsaw to the power source, provided you place a locking shut off switch near the machine to disconnect the power.

Be sure that your particular electrical con- figuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
