Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu- larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician.
Grounding
Electrocution or a fire can result if the machine is not grounded correct- ly. Make sure all electri- cal circuits are ground- ed. DO NOT use the machine if it is not grounded.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the grounding conductor.
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 that has an
Because of the high amperage draw from this machine, we do not recommend the use of exten- sion cords. Instead, position your equipment near installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten- sion cords.
Rewiring To 220V
The Model G0526 can be rewired to operate on a 220V power source; however, the
The motor must also be rewired to handle the 220V power source. The correct wiring configura- tion can be found on the inside of the motor wire cover, as well as on page 48.
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and the rewiring job should be inspected by a licensed electrician before turning the machine ON.
