SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation | 220V Operation |
The motor supplied with the Model G1019 is a dual-voltage 110V or 220V motor prewired for 110V. Under 110V use, the motor draws approxi- mately 12 amps. We recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker for 110V. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while providing enough protection against circuit damage caused by power surges. Grizzly recommends that the circuit you use should be dedicated, (i.e., the Model G1019 should provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.

The motor supplied with the Model G1019 can be rewired to operate at 220V. See enclosed wiring diagram for details.
If converting to operate at 220V, a suitable 220V plug must be wired in. When operating at 220V, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-15 plug and outlet. See Figure 2. You may also “hard- wire” the machine directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect switch near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate- ly 6 amps at 220V. We recommend a 15 amp cir- cuit breaker. This should be satisfactory for nor- mal use while providing enough protection against circuit damage caused by power surges.
