The Model G1183/1276 is prewired for 110V, sin- gle phase operation. Figure 1 depicts the typical grounded receptacle which should be used. This machine can be rewired to operate at 220V, how- ever a different plug will need to be installed. Figure 2 shows a typical 220V plug. A wiring dia- gram is provided at the back of the manual to show the two wiring configurations.
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 hav- ing an
This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually ground- ed. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any
