The motor supplied with the G5963 can be oper- ated at either 110V or 220V. The motor comes prewired for 110V. If you wish to operate at 220V, refer to the section at right.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate- ly 7.4 amps @ 110V. We recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker for 110V operation. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while providing enough protection against motor damage caused by power surges.
Grizzly recommends that the circuit you use should be dedicated, (i.e., the G5963 should pro- vide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit failures occur when using the Surface Grinder, contact our Service Department or your local electrical contractor.

The G5963 Surface Grinder motor can be rewired to operate at 220V. Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with this manual. If converting to operate at 220V, the 110V plug must be replaced with a 220V plug. Plugs and receptacles can be pur- chased at your local hardware store or home cen- ter. The type of plug you choose will depend upon the type of 220V outlet used in your installation. See Figure 2 for a typical plug and outlet. This plug must be rated for at least 15 amp draw.
It is not necessary to change the switch supplied with the G5963 for 220V operation.
Under normal 220V use, the motor draws approx- imately 3.7 amps. We recommend a 10 amp cir- cuit breaker or a 10 amp slow-blow fuse.
