The 3 HP G1033 Planer motor is wired to oper- ate at 220V only. A 220V plug that matches your 220V receptacle must attach to the end of the power cord. Plugs and receptacles can be pur- chased at your local hardware store or home center. When connecting to 220V, ensure that the electrical circuit is in fact a 220V circuit. Contact your local electrical contractor if uncer- tain about converting to 220V operation. A wiring diagram for the motor and switch is provided at the back of this manual should more detail be needed.
When operating at 220V, we recommend using a
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 hav- ing an
This equipment must be grounded. Please ensure that this machine is continuously grounded from the motor to the machine frame and then to a known ground. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any

Fusing
The Model G1033 should be fused at 30 amps. Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 30 amps will not adequately protect the motor. You are cautioned that equipment that is returned to us for service that shows evidence of being over- fused will be repaired or replaced totally at the customerÕs expense, regardless of the present warranty status.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten- sion cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: 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.
