Extension Cords; Voltage Conversion - Grizzly G0555X Owner's Manual

Extension cords

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 may
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
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require-
ments:
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Work Lamp
the work lamp included with this machine is not
part of the electrical wiring of the machine. the
lamp must be connected to a separate grounded
120V circuit that accepts the included 5-15 plug.
use only a replacement light bulb that is rated
40 watts or below. When changing the light bulb,
always disconnect the lamp from power and wait
for the bulb to cool.
The work lamp is only
designed to safely operate
with 110v power. Always
disconnect the work lamp
from power and wait for the
light bulb to cool before
replacing the bulb.

voltage conversion

the voltage conversion Must be performed by
an electrician or qualified service personnel.
to perform the voltage conversion, install the
correct plug and rewire the motor to the new volt-
age, according to the provided wiring diagram on
page 47.
the start/stop switch is a dual-voltage switch
(110V/220V) and does not need to be re-wired or
replaced.
Note: If the diagram included on the motor con-
flicts with the one in this manual, the motor may
have changed since the manual was printed. Use
the diagram provided inside the motor wiring junc-
tion box.
To convert the machine to 220v:
1.
disConneCt MaChine FroM poWer!
2.
replace the 5-15 plug on the power cord with
a 6-15 plug.
3.
re-wire the motor as illustrated in the wiring
diagram on page 47.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an elec-
trician or qualified service personnel in
accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including the National Electric
code (NEc) and the Occupational Safety
and health Administration (OShA) regula-
tions.
