SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

G9984 Only:

The Model G9984 has a 3 H.P., 1725 R.P.M. motor which requires a 220V single-phase circuit. The cord set included does not have a plug, as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. The motor will safely draw about 16 amps at 220V under load. If you operate the Model G9984 on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

In preparing to connect the Model G9984 to your existing or new circuit, it will be necessary to con- nect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle. If you will be installing a new receptacle and plug, we recommend using a NEMA-style L6-20 plug and outlet shown in Figure 1.

The Model G9984 should be fused at 20 amps. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage than the plug, outlet and wiring can handle. Make sure that existing electrical wires are capable of handling a 20 amp current. If you are unsure, seek the assistance of a qualified electrician.

220V Three-Phase

G9985 Only:

The Model G9985 has a 3 H.P., 1725 R.P.M. motor which requires a 220V three-phase circuit. The cord set enclosed does not have a plug, as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. The motor will safely draw about 9 amps at 220V under load. If you operate the Model G9985 on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

In preparing to connect the Model G9985 to your existing or new circuit, it will be necessary to con- nect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle. If you will be installing a new receptacle and plug, we recommend using a NEMA-style L15-20 plug and outlet shown in Figure 2.

The Model G9985 should be fused at 20 amps. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by replac- ing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage than the plug, outlet and wiring can handle. Make sure that existing electrical wires are capable of handling a 20 amp current. If you are unsure, seek the assistance of a qualified electrician.

G9984/G9985 specifications

The Grizzly G9984/G9985 is a state-of-the-art woodworking machine designed for both professional woodworkers and serious hobbyists. These models stand out due to their exceptional versatility, robust construction, and advanced technologies that facilitate precise and efficient woodworking tasks.

One of the main features of the G9984/G9985 is their powerful motor. Equipped with a high-performance variable-speed motor, these machines can handle a variety of materials with ease. The ability to adjust the speed settings allows users to tailor the machine's performance to suit specific tasks, whether it’s milling, sanding, or cutting. This flexibility enhances productivity and ensures superior results.

In terms of design, the G9984/G9985 feature a heavy-duty cast iron construction, which provides stability and reduces vibrations during operation. The robust frame not only ensures durability but also enhances the accuracy of cuts and finishes. The solid construction combined with a precision-ground table surface allows for smooth movement of workpieces, making it ideal for intricate woodworking projects.

Another significant characteristic of the Grizzly G9984/G9985 is their advanced dust collection system. A well-designed dust port efficiently collects debris and dust generated during operation, ensuring a cleaner workspace. This feature not only contributes to the longevity of the machine by minimizing clutter but also promotes a healthier working environment by reducing airborne particles.

The user-friendly controls on the G9984/G9985 make operation intuitive, even for those new to woodworking machinery. The clearly labeled knobs and switches simplify speed adjustments and operation, allowing users to focus more on their craft rather than the machine’s settings.

Safety is a priority in the design of these models, featuring safeguards such as emergency stop buttons and well-positioned blade guards. These elements ensure that users can operate the machine with confidence, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.

Overall, the Grizzly G9984/G9985 embodies a harmonious blend of power, precision, and safety. With their advanced technologies and robust characteristics, they are excellent investments for those looking to enhance their woodworking capabilities, whether for intricate cabinet making or larger-scale woodworking projects.
