SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Amperage Draw
The Model G0512 features a 110V/220V motor that is prewired at 220V.
Motor Load at 220V | ..............................10 amps |
Motor Load at 110V | ..............................20 amps |
Plug Type
The cord set enclosed does not have a plug as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. We recommend using the following plugs for your machine on a dedicated circuit only (see Figures 1 & 2 for an example):
220V | Plug & |
110V | Plug & |

NOTICE
The Model G0512 is prewired for 220V oper- ation. If you plan to rewire your machine for 110V, you must use a different switch. Consult a licensed electrician before attempting to rewire your machine!

Circuit Breaker Requirements
Please use the following guidelines when choos- ing a circuit breaker for your machine (circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit):
220V Circuit Breaker | 10 amp |
110V Circuit Breaker | 20 amp |
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage load from your machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If you operate your sander on any cir- cuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and a power fail- ure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our Service Department.
DO NOT connect your machine to the power source until you have completed the assem- bly process and have been instructed to do so in this manual. Otherwise, serious per- sonal injury could occur.
