SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V Operation
The Model G8622 Shaper is furnished with a
3450 R.P.M., 5 H.P., Single-Phase 220V motor,
push-button ON/OFF magnetic starter switch,
FORWARD/REVERSE switch and a cord set.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate-
ly 25 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 30 amp
circuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur
when using the shaper, contact our service
department.
The shaper motor must be connected to its own
dedicated 30A circuit, including wires rated for 30
amps and a 30 amp circuit breaker. It should not
share a circuit with any other machine. A stan-
dard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the
shaper.
We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-30 plug
and outlet similar to that in Figure 1. You may
also "hard-wire" the shaper directly to your panel,
provided you place a disconnect near the
machine. Check the electrical codes in your area
for specifics on wiring requirements.

Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
electric current a path of least resistance to dis-
perse electricity. This tool is equipped with an
electric cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor which must be properly connected to a
grounding plug. 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 the risk of electric shock.
The conductor with green or green and yellow
striped insulation is the electrical-grounding con-
ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
