Grizzly G5045 instruction manual Circuit Requirements, 110V Operation Grounding

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation Grounding

The 1 H.P. motor supplied with the G5045, draws approximately 13 amps @ 110V. We recommend a dedicated 15-amp breaker. This should be sat- isfactory for normal use, while providing enough protection against motor damage caused by power surges or overload.

The G5045 is shipped complete with a grounded 110V cordset and plug. If you require the use of an extension cord while operating this table saw, use a properly grounded cord that’s constructed to U.L. standards. Use the chart included in the Safety Section to determine what gauge cord is necessary for safe operation. Underpowering your saw by using an inadequate or damaged cord can result in damage to the Model G5045. Always inspect your cord and cord ends for dam- age or wear prior to using them.

If frequent circuit failures occur when using the table saw, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor. Be sure that your par- ticular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compli- ance is to check with your local municipality or licensed electrician.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur- rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav- ing an equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This equipment must be grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the out- let to a known ground. Under no circum- stances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.
