SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The Model G1182 Jointer Series is wired for 110/120V, single- phase operation. The 1 H.P. motor is dual voltage; however, we do not recom- mend converting to 220V because the magnetic switch is only rated for 110V. The motor will safe- ly draw 14 amps at 110V. If you operate this machine 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.
A 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when fusing this (tool description). Circuit break- ers rated any higher may not be adequate to pro- tect the circuit from power surges.
Extension Cords
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model G1182 series of jointers, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in the standard safety instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing electric current a path of least resistance. This tool is equipped with a power cord having an
This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any
