Serious personal injury could occur if you connect your machine to the power source before you have completed the set up pro- cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.
Amperage Draw
The Model G0508 features a 220/440V motor that is prewired for 220V and draws the following amps under maximum load:
Motor Draw at 220V | 26 Amps |
Motor Draw at 440V | 13 Amps |
Circuit Requirements
We recommend connecting your machine to a dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri- cian 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 electrician.
220V Circuit | 40 Amps |
440V Circuit | 20 Amps |

G0508 10 HP Industrial Dust Collector
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding wire in the power cord must be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and grounded. All electrical connections must be made in accor- dance with local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the
Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not installed correctly or the electrical installation does not comply with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by using a qualified electrician for the electrical installation!
Rewiring to 440V
The Model G0508 can be rewired for 440V opera- tion. This rewiring job consists of disconnecting the dust collector from the power source, chang- ing the magnetic switch, and rewiring the motor.
The necessary magnetic switch for this procedure can be purchased by calling our customer service number at (800)
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and the rewiring job must be inspected by a qualified electrician before the dust collector is connected to the power source.
