Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu-
larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician.
Grounding
Electrocution or a fire can
result if the machine is
not grounded correctly.
Make sure all electrical
circuits are grounded. DO
NOT use the machine if it
is not grounded.
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 that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.

Extension Cords
220V Operation
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to
eliminate the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord at 220V with your Grizzly Planer:
•
Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (grade S) or better.
•
The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug prong.
•
Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50
feet long or less.
•
Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is
between 51-100 feet.
