The G8793 Sander motor is prewired to operate at 110V. A 110V plug is included with this machine. The plug must be used in a grounded receptacle similar to that shown in Figure 1.
Under normal 110V use, the motor draws approx- imately 20 amps. We recommend a 20 amp cir- cuit breaker or a 20 amp
Grizzly recommends that the circuit you use should be dedicated, (i.e., the G8793 should pro- vide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit failures occur when using this machine, contact our Service Department or your local electrical contractor.

The motor supplied with the G8793 can be oper- ated at either 110V or 220V. The motor comes pre wired for 110V. Refer to the wiring diagram inside the motor cover for information about con- verting to operate at 220V.
If converting to operate at 220V, a suitable 220V plug must be wired in. When operating at 220V, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-15 plug and outlet. See Figure 2. You may also “hard- wire” the machine directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect switch near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate- ly 10 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker for 220V operation This should be satisfactory for normal use while providing enough protection against motor damage caused by power surges.
