SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

Your G8693 Mini Shaper is prewired for 110 volt, single phase operation. The 34'' H.P. motor draws approximately 2.2 amps. We strongly recom- mend fusing your Mini Shaper at 15 amps. Fusing higher will not adequately protect the motor.

Although the G8693 Mini Shaper does not draw a large load, if you’re using a circuit that is already close to capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a cir- cuit breaker. If an unusual load does not exist and power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspect- ed by a qualified electrician.

Grounding

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

If you are unsure about the quality or con- dition of the circuit you plan on using for this machine, have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the circuit. Always make sure that your machine is properly ground- ed. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock hazard and/or mechanical damage.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground- ing type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. See FIgure 1.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi- ately.
