Grizzly G1531 manual Circuit Requirements, Recommended 220V plug/receptacle

Circuit Requirements

The motor supplied with the G1531 is a dual-voltage 110/220V motor prewired for 220V. Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 10 amps @ 220V. We rec- ommend using a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 20 amp fuse for 220V operation. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while preventing motor damage from high heat caused by overload. The circuit you use should be dedicated, (i.e., the G1531 should provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit failures occur when using the edge sander, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor. If you wish to run the Edge Sander on 110V, please contact the ser- vice center for further instruction. Serious personal injury may occur.

This equipment must be grounded. Please ensure that the edge sander is continu- ously grounded from the motor to the machine frame and then to a known ground. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. 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 per- sonal injury may occur.

Plug/receptacle: We recommend using the plug type illustrated in Figure 2. Contact your local electrical contractor’s supply, a licensed electrician or our ser- vice department if you have questions about the configuration for your specific situation. Serious personal injury may occur.

Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must be rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G. for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged. Serious personal injury may occur.

Be sure that your particular electrical con- figuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compli- ance is to check with your local munici- pality or licensed electrician. Serious per- sonal injury may occur.
