G9741/G9961Grounding

The Model G9740/G9740Z Planer is prewired with a 10 HP 3-phase motor, which may be rewired to 440V. Please use the following specs preparing your shop for the machine, and always have the wiring inspected by licensed electrician before operating your machine.

Total Amperage Draw at 220V	.............. 32 amp
Circuit Breaker at 220V	35 amp
Plug and Receptacle at 220V	15-50
Total Amperage Draw at 440V	.............. 15 amp
Circuit Breaker at 440V	20 amp
Plug and Receptacle at 440V	L16-20
Cord	3-pole, 4-wire

The planer must be connected to a dedicated circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other machine. If frequent circuit failure occurs when using the planer, contact our service depart- ment.

In addition, you may also “hard-wire” the planer directly to your panel, provided you place a lock- ing power disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical out- let and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

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.

Additionally, the saw operates at two different speeds, allowing users to adjust the cutting rate according to the material being worked on, which enhances its versatility.

The G9740 is engineered with a durable cast iron frame that not only reduces vibration but also contributes to the overall stability of the saw during operation. This stability is crucial for achieving accurate cuts, especially when working with thicker materials. The band saw is equipped with a precision ground cast iron table that provides ample support for the workpiece, ensuring that it can handle large and heavy materials with ease.

Another notable characteristic of the Grizzly G9740 is its large cutting capacity. The saw can accommodate stock up to 7 inches in height and 10 inches in width, making it ideal for a wide range of projects, from custom metal fabrications to intricate hobby work. The adjustable blade guide system ensures that the blade remains properly aligned, which is essential for maintaining cutting accuracy over extended periods.

Safety is a top priority with the Grizzly G9740. The machine comes with several safety features, including a blade guard that protects users from accidental contact with the cutting blade. Moreover, the saw is designed with a reliable tensioning mechanism that keeps the blade tight and secure during operation, minimizing the risk of blade breakage or misalignment.

In summary, the Grizzly G9740 is a highly capable benchtop metal band saw that offers a combination of power, precision, and safety. Its robust design, flexible speed settings, and generous cutting capacity make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to tackle metal cutting projects with confidence and accuracy. Whether for professional use or personal projects, the G9740 is a reliable tool that will deliver consistent and high-quality results.
