SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V/220V Operation

Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to the power source before you have completed the set up pro- cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.

Amperage Draw

The Model G0555X features a 110V/220V motor that is prewired for 110V and draws the following amps under maximum load:

Motor Draw at 110V	15	Amps
Motor Draw at 220V	7.5	Amps

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.

110V Circuit	20 Amps
220V Circuit	15 Amps

Plug Type

The Model G0555X comes prewired with a NEMA 5-15 plug. If you wish to rewire the motor to 220V, we recommend using the following plug (see Figure 1 for an example):

220V Plug & Receptacle 6-15

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.
