Circuit Requirements; 220V Operation; Grounding - Grizzly G1128 Instruction Manual

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Operation

The G1128 and G1129 is supplied with a 220V
1
only motor. The ⁄ HP motor on the G1128 will
2
draw roughly 4 amps. The 1 HP motor on the
G1129 will draw about 3.5 amps. These loads are
not excessive, but if you operate your machine on
any circuit that is already close to capacity, it
might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. If an
unusual load does not exist and power failure still
occurs, consult a qualified electrician. Otherwise,
consider a dedicated circuit for your machine. A
15 amp circuit breaker or fuse should be used for
a 220V undedicated circuit. The general rule is to
use the lightest breaker or fuse that will hold
under regular loads. Circuit breakers or fuses that
are rated higher may not adequately protect the
motor.
You must provide your own plug with both power
feeders. Figure 1. Ensure that the plug type
matches the outlet you intend to use. Connect the
plug to the power cord per the plug instructions.
Ensure that the ground wire is connected to the
plug.

Grounding

CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
Be sure that your particular electrical configura-
tion complies with local and state codes. The best
way to ensure compliance is to check with your
local municipality or licensed electrician.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.
