220V Operation

The motor supplied with your new planer is rated at 3 HP and will draw approximately 18 amps during 220 volt operation. When choosing an outlet for this machine, we recommend using a NEMA 6-20 plug and receptacle with a 20 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines or tools at the same time will add to the total load being applied to the circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker, fuse or wires, use a different circuit.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your machinery and installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, make sure it is rated Standard Service (grade S) and capable of handling an 18 amp load. The extension cord must always contain a ground wire and plug pin. Be sure to ask an expert about the correct gauge to use with your desired cord length. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord supplied with your planer does not come with a 220 volt plug. Install a NEMA 6-20 plug and outlet (See Figure 1) with a ground pin. If your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have a ground circuit installed by a qualified electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed and grounded properly. An adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee the machine will be grounded. A ground source must be verified.

NOTICE

NEVER replace the circuit breaker with one rated at a higher amperage or damage to the circuit may occur.

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