Model G9953Zxf 440V Conversion - Grizzly EXTREME Series Owner's Manual

Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
NOTICE
No adapter is available or should be used
with this machine. If the machine must be
reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and
after reconnection, the machine must com-
ply with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Extension Cords (G9860, G9860ZX,
& G9953ZX Only)
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Extreme Series Jointer (Mfd. Since 10/20)
Model G9953ZXF
440V Conversion
To operate your jointer with 440V power, you
must: 1) replace the magnetic switch contactor, 2)
replace the overload relay, 3) replace the power
lamp and ON button light bulbs, 4) re-wire the
motor, and 5) have an electrician hardwire the
machine to a locking disconnect switch.
Refer to Page 52 for the full 440V Wiring
Diagram.
You MUST disconnect the
machine from the power
source before beginning
any of the following 440V
conversion
to avoid serious personal
injury or death by electro-
cution.

pedestal to access the contactor and over-
load relay.
Replace the existing contactor and overload

relay with those from the 440V Conversion
Kit (Part Number P9953ZXF042) (refer to
Pages 51– 52 for detailed illustrations), then
set the overload relay load dial to 7, as shown
in Figure 6 on the next page.
