The motor supplied with the Model G3183 is a 110V single-voltage motor, prewired for 110V. Under normal use, the motor draws approximate- ly 6 amps @ 110V. We recommend using a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse for 110V operation. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while preventing motor damage from high heat caused by overload. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the Hollow Chisel Mortiser, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor. The Hollow Chisel Mortiser cannot be wired for 220V opera- tion.

This equipment must be grounded. Please ensure that the Hollow Chisel Mortiser 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.

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 dam- aged.

CAUTION: Be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or licensed electri- cian.

The Model G3183 Hollow Chisel Mortiser has been largely pre-assembled at the factory. However, some components must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order in which we have presented them here. We also recommend that you spend some time with the diagrams and parts lists to become familiar with all the parts before you begin.

Tools Required: Common hand tools are all that are necessary to assemble this machine. Specifically, you will need a screwdriver, 4mm and 5mm hex wrenches (provided) and a Phillips screwdriver.
