SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The Model G0505 motor is designed to operate at 110V and includes a 110V plug.
Under normal 110V use, the motor draws approx- imately 10 amps. We recommend that you use a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp

NOTICE
The Model G0505 cannot be rewired for 220V operation! Attempting to do this will void the warranty and will ruin the machine.
