SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

Grounding

The Model G5787 is wired for 110/120V, single phase operation only. The 3⁄4 H.P. motor will safe- ly draw 14 amps at 110V. If you operate this machine on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our service department.

Fusing

A 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when fusing this bandsaw. Circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit from power surges. Make sure the wire used in the circuit will handle the amp rating required for this machine.

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

 

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord

 

with the Model G5787, make sure the cord is

 

rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to

 

the chart in the standard 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.
