Circuit Requirements
We recommend connecting your machine to a dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri- cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

NOTICE
The Model G0555X is prewired for 110V operation. If you plan to use your machine at 220V, you must rewire the motor. Refer to the wiring diagram on Page 45. Contact a qualified electrician if you do not under- stand basic wiring procedures.
Using a bulb rated for the incorrect voltage may cause it to shatter near the operator, causing person- al injury. Only use “safety coated" and shatter resis- tant bulbs rated for the voltage of your machine.
