220V Operation

 

Grounding

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Model G1006/G1007 can be wired for 220V single phase operation (see Wiring Diagram, page 23). The motor will safely draw about 11 amps at 220V under load. If you operate the Mill/Drill on any circuit 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 power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

Circuit Load/Reset

The Model G1006/G1007 should be fused at 15 amps. Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 15 amps will not adequately protect the circuit. 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.

In preparing to connect the Model G1006/G1007 to your existing or new circuit, it will be necessary to connect a plug that matches your 220V recep- tacle. If you will be installing a new receptacle and plug, we recommend either of the styles shown in Figure 2. Note that you have the choice between simple plug-in and twist-lock plug styles. Whichever style you choose, be sure that both the plug and outlet are rated at 15 amps or bet- ter.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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 wire be left unconnected when installing the 220V plug. Serious injury may occur.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension 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.

The electrical requirements presented here are are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
