SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The Model G0505 motor is designed to operate at 110V and includes a 110V plug.
Under normal 110V use, the motor draws approx- imately 10 amps. We recommend that you use a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp
We also recommend that you use a dedicated cir- cuit, (i.e., the Model G0505 should provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit fail- ures occur when using the planer, contact our Service Department or your local electrical con- tractor.
NOTICE
The Model G0505 cannot be rewired for 220V operation! Attempting to do this will void the warranty and will ruin the machine.
