110/220V Operation
Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to power before com- pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power until instructed later in this manual.
Electrocution or fire could result if machine is not grounded and installed in compliance with electrical codes. Compliance MUST be verified by a qualified electrician!
NOTICE
The Model G1028Z is prewired for 110V. If you plan to operate the machine at 220V, the motor must be rewired (see Page 27).
Full Load Amperage Draw
This machine draws the following amps under maximum load:
Amp Draw at 110V (prewired) | 18 | Amps |
Amp Draw at 220V | 9 | Amps |
Power Supply Circuit Requirements
You MUST connect your machine to a grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing cir- cuit with one of higher amperage without consult- ing a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes.
If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, consult a qualified electri- cian.
Minimum Circuit Size (110V) | 20 Amps |
Minimum Circuit Size (220V) | 15 Amps |
Power Connection Device
The type of plug required to connect your machine to power depends on the type of service you cur- rently have or plan to install. We recommend using one of the plugs shown in Figure 1.

Extension Cords
Using extension cords may reduce the life of the motor. Instead, place the machine near a power source. If you must use an extension cord:
•For 110V, use at least a 12 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length.
•For 220V, use at least a 14 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length.
•The extension cord must have a ground wire and plug pin.
