Circuit Requirements - Grizzly G1067Z Instruction Manual

Circuit Requirements

The motor supplied with the G1067Z is
wired for 110V only. Under normal use, the
motor draws approximately 10 amps @
110V. We recommend using a 15 amp cir-
cuit breaker or a 20 amp fuse for 110V
operation. This should be satisfactory for
normal use, while providing enough pro-
tection against motor damage caused by
power surges. The circuit you use should
be dedicated, (i.e., the G1067Z should pro-
vide the only draw from that circuit). If fre-
quent circuit failures occur when using the
Wood Lathe, contact our service depart-
ment or your local electrical contractor.

This equipment must be grounded. Please
ensure that the Wood Lathe is continuous-
ly grounded from the motor to the machine
frame and then to a known ground. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and cir-
cuit you intend to plug into is actually
grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to
run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding
wire from the outlet to a known ground.
Under no circumstances should the
grounding pin from any three-pronged
plug be removed.
Extension Cords: If used, extension cords
must be rated Hard Service (grade S) or
better. Conductor size must be 14 A.W.G.
for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your
extension cord must also contain a ground
wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords if they become damaged.
Be sure that your particular electrical con-
figuration complies with local and state
codes. The best way to ensure compliance
is to check with your local municipality or
licensed electrician.
