SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Wiring

Your Model G1032 Dust Collector operates ideal- ly at 110V, single phase power. The 1 HP motor will draw roughly 8 amps at 110 volts. These loads are not excessive, but if you operate your machine on any circuit that is already close to capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. If an unusual load does not exist, and power failure still occurs, consult a qualified elec- trician. Otherwise, consider a dedicated circuit for your machine.

A 110V plug is provided with the G1032.

In the case of 220V operation, please call the service department for further information.

Grounding

CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

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. The grounding conductor must be connected to the grounding pin on the plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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. FIgure 1.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi- ately.
