SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
G9933 Operation
The Model G9933 Shaper is furnished with 3
3450 R.P.M., 3 H.P., Single-Phase 220V motors,
a push-button ON/OFF magnetic starter switch, a
FORWARD/REVERSE switch for each motor and
a cord set. Under normal use, each motor draws
approximately 18 amps at 220V. We recommend
using a 30 amp circuit. This includes the appro-
priate wiring and circuit breaker. If frequent circuit
failures occur when using the shaper, contact our
service department.
The shaper must be connected to its own dedi-
cated 30A circuit. It should not share a circuit with
any other machine. A standard 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 &
Extension Cords
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 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.
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to
arrange the placement of your equipment and the
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords. Should it be necessary to use an
extension make sure the cord is rated Hard
Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in
Section 1: Safety to determine the minimum
gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord
must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.
Always repair or replace extension cords when
they become worn or damaged.
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.
