The G1128 and G1129 is supplied with a 220V only motor. The 1⁄2 HP motor on the G1128 will draw roughly 4 amps. The 1 HP motor on the G1129 will draw about 3.5 amps. These loads are not excessive, but if you operate your machine on any circuit that is already close to capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. If an unusual load does not exist and power failure still occurs, consult a qualified electrician. Otherwise, consider a dedicated circuit for your machine. A 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse should be used for a 220V undedicated circuit. The general rule is to use the lightest breaker or fuse that will hold under regular loads. Circuit breakers or fuses that are rated higher may not adequately protect the motor.
You must provide your own plug with both power feeders. Figure 1. Ensure that the plug type matches the outlet you intend to use. Connect the plug to the power cord per the plug instructions. Ensure that the ground wire is connected to the plug.

CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro- vides 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 equip- ment-grounding conductor. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali- fied electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Be sure that your particular electrical configura- tion complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or licensed electrician.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi- ately.
