Page 9

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Operation

Amperage Draw

The Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW motors are prewired at 220V and will draw the following load:

G0500

12 amps

G1018

9 amps

G1018HW

9 amps

Plug Type

The cord set enclosed does not have a plug as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. We recommend using the following plugs for your machine on a dedicated circuit only (see Figure 1 for an example):

G0500............................................6-15

or L6-15

G1018............................................6-15

or L6-15

G1018HW......................................6-15

or L6-15

Figure 1. 6-15 plug and outlet.

Circuit Breaker Requirements

We recommend that the circuit you use your machine on should be dedicated. Because the machine motors are different sizes, please use the following guidelines when choosing a circuit breaker for your machine (circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the cir- cuit):

G0500

15 amp

G1018

10 amp

G1018HW

10 amp

Your Circuit Capacity

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage load from your machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

If you operate your jointer on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our Service Department.

DO NOT connect your machine to the power source until you have completed the assem- bly process and have been instructed to do so in this manual. Otherwise, serious per- sonal injury could occur.
