Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to power before com-
pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect
the machine to the power until instructed
later in this manual.
Electrocution or fire could
result if machine is not
correctly grounded or
connected to the power
source. Get help if you
do not know what you are
doing.
NOTICE
The Model G0555X is prewired for 110v
operation. If you plan to use your machine
at 220v, you must rewire the motor. Refer to
the wiring diagram on page 46.
full Load Amperage Draw
amp draw at 110V (prewired) ................ 15 amps
amp draw at 220V ............................... 7.5 amps
power Supply circuit Requirements
the power supply circuit for your machine must
be grounded and rated for the amperage given
below. never replace a circuit breaker on an exist-
ing circuit with one of higher amperage without
consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compli-
ance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about
the wiring codes in your area or you plan to
connect your machine to a shared circuit, con-
sult a qualified electrician.

figure 1. nema 6-15 plug and receptacle.
Extension cords
using extension cords may reduce the life of the
motor. instead, place the machine near a power
source. if you must use an extension cord:
•
for 110V, use at least a 12 gauge cord that
does not exceed 50 feet in length.
•
for 220V, use at least a 14 gauge cord that
does not exceed 50 feet in length.
•
the extension cord must have a ground wire
and plug pin.
using a bulb rated for
the incorrect voltage may
cause it to shatter near the
operator, causing person-
al injury. Only use "safety
coated" and shatter resis-
tant bulbs rated for the
voltage of your machine.
