110V Operation
NOTICE
The Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW is prewired for 220V operation. If you plan to rewire your machine for 110V, you must use a different switch. Consult a licensed electrician before attempting to rewire your machine!
110V Amperage Draw
The Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW motors can be rewired for 110V if you use a different switch. If you rewire your machine for 110V, the motors will draw the following load:
G0500 | 24 amp |
G1018 | 18 amp |
G1018HW | 18 amp |
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 Figures 2 & 3 for examples):

110V Circuit Breaker Requirements
Use the following guidelines when choosing a cir- cuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit):
G0500 | 25 amp |
G1018 | 20 amp |
G1018HW | 20 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.
