SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation Extension Cords

The Model G4015Z Lathe/Mill is wired for 110 volt, single phase operation. The 3⁄4 H.P. motor will safely draw 8.7 amps at 110V. A 10-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when connect- ing this combination lathe/mill to power. Circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit. Always check to see if the wires in the circuit are capable of handling a 8.7 amp load. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

If you operate this lathe/mill 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 ser- vice department.

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model G4015Z, 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.

Potential for electrical shock hazard, this equip- ment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and cir- cuit you use are actually grounded. If not, it will be necessary to run a sepa- rate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. If not grounded properly, serious personal injury may occur.
