Grizzly G4186Z instruction manual Grounding Wiring Diagram, Extension Cords

Grounding Wiring Diagram

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing electric current a path of least resistance. This tool is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed and ground- ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi- nances.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten- sion cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (Grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Your Model G4186Z Bandsaw comes pre-wired for 220 volt operation. A wiring diagram is provid- ed at the back of this manual should it be neces- sary to repair or revise the wiring. Always utilize a qualified electrician when doing any electrical work on this equipment.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your bandsaw. These requirements are not nec- essarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
