The Model G8749 is wired for 110V, single phase operation. Figure 1 depicts the typical grounded receptacle which should be used.
Figure 1. 110V Grounded Plug Configuration.
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. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and cir- cuit 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

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model G8749, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in the standard safety instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.
The 1 HP motor will draw 10 amps at 110V. A 15- amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when fusing this Drum/Flap Sander. Circuits rated any higher are not adequate to protect the wiring from power surges. If you operate this sander on any circuit that is already close to capacity, it might trip the breaker or blow the fuse. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and the circuit pro- tection is still activated, you should have the cir- cuit inspected by a qualified electrician.
