Grizzly G0449 instruction manual Grounding Rewiring to, Extension Cords

Grounding Rewiring to 440V

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding wire in the power cord must be properly connect- ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and ground- ed. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor increases the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if you do not understand the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the machine is properly grounded.

Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded correctly or if your electrical con- figuration does not com- ply with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with a quali- fied electrician!

Extension Cords

Because of the high amperage draw from this machine, we do not recommend the use of exten- sion cords. Instead, position your equipment near installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten- sion cords.

The Model G0450 can be rewired for 440V operation. This rewiring job consists of replacing the existing control panel box with a 440V control panel box and rewiring the motor.

The 440V conversion kit can be purchased as #P0450253 by calling (800) 523-4777.

This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and the rewiring job must be inspected by a qualified electrician before connecting to power.

To rewire the Model G0450 for 440V opera- tion:

1.Disconnect the saw from the power source!

2.Rewire both motors according to the dia- grams on the inside of the junction box cover.

Note: These drawings are also shown in Figure 55 for your reference, but always use the drawings in the junction box cover, as they will reflect any changes to the machine since the time of writing.

3.Open the electrical panel and familiarize yourself with Figures 54 & 56 for component locations.

4.Keeping track of the wire locations, discon- nect all power and motor wires, so the con- trol panel box can be completely removed.

5.Remove and replace the control panel box with the box from the 440V conversion kit.

6.Connect the power and motor wires to the new control panel box in the same manner that they were removed from the old box.

7.Have the wiring job inspected by a qualified electrician.
