Grizzly G4186Z instruction manual Circuit Requirements, 220V Operation 110V Operation

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Operation 110V Operation

The motor supplied with the Model G4186Z comes prewired for 220V. Refer to the wiring dia- gram supplied at the back of this manual for more specific information about wiring connections.

Under normal use, the motor draws approximate- ly 12 amps at 220V. We recommend a 15 amp circuit breaker for 220V operation. This should be satisfactory for normal use while providing enough protection for the circuits. Also, be sure the wires in your circuit are rated for 15 amp ser- vice.

This machine does not come supplied with a plug, therefore a suitable 220V plug must be wired in. When operating at 220V, we recom- mend using a NEMA-style L6-15 plug and outlet. See Figure 1A. You may also Òhard-wireÓ 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.

The G4186Z Bandsaw motor can be wired to operate at 110V. See Figure 1B. Under normal 110V use, the motor draws approximately 24 amps. We recommend a 30 amp circuit breaker, including wires in the circuit rated to handle 30 amps.

We also recommend that the circuit you use should be dedicated, (i.e., the G4186Z 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.
