Grizzly G9983 instruction manual Grounding, Extension Cords, Wiring

Grounding

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet 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.

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 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. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding con- ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

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.

Wiring

The Model G9983 comes prewired for 220 volt operation. Wiring diagrams are provided at the back of this manual should it be necessary to repair or revise the wiring. Always consult a qual- ified electrician when doing any electrical work on this equipment.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your Sander. These requirements are not neces- sarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
