Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur- rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accor- dance with all local codes and ordinances.

Verify that any existing electrical outlet and cir- cuit you use is 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 could occur.

This machine must have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Extension Cords

220V Operation

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place- ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord at 220V with your Grizzly 8" Jointer:

•Make sure the cord is rated for Standard Service (grade S) or better.

•The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

•Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50 feet long or less.

•Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is between 51-100 feet.

110V Operation

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord at 110V with your Grizzly 8" jointer:

•Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or better.

•The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

•Use at least a 10 gauge cord if the cord is 50 feet long or less.

•DO NOT use a cord longer that 50 feet!
