SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V Single-Phase
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 1 HP motor on the Model G0565 will draw the following amps:
Amperage Draw | 9 Amps |
Circuit Breaker Requirements
Install your machine on a dedicated circuit to reduce the possibility of tripping the circuit break- er. If the circuit breaker frequently trips, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician. Never use a larger circuit breaker than stated below, or you will increase the risk of fire.
Circuit Breaker | 10 Amp, 3 Pole |
Plug Type
We recommend using a NEMA
Figure 2. NEMA 6-15 plug and receptacle.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and grounded. All elec- trical connections must be made in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
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!
Your Shop Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place- ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord at 220V with your machine:
•Make sure the cord is rated for Standard Service (grade S) or better.
•The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug prong.
•Use at least a 16 gauge cord and make sure the cord is less than 50 feet long.
