SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

 

Grounding

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Model G1006/G1007 is wired for 110V, single phase operation. The 2 HP motor will draw 22 amps at 110V at maximum load. If you operate this Mill/Drill on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it may blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our service department.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur- rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Circuit Load/Reset

The Model G1006/G1007 can be fused at 20 amps. If the circuit breakers trip frequently, and you have determined you are on a dedicated circuit with no other loads, it may be necessary to upgrade to a 25 amp circuit. Contact a qualified electrician to specifically determine the needs for your shop.

You will find that the motor supplied with the Mill/Drill is equipped with a reset button. If during operation the reset button disengages power from the motor, allow it to cool for five minutes. Depress the button. It should stay down and the motor should start by pressing the start switch. If the reset button continues to deactivate the motor or if it will not reset, call the Service Department.

Extension Cords

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model G1006/G1007, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

G1006/G1007 Mill/Drill

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually ground- ed. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.
