Amp Draw Meter - Grizzly G0445 Instruction Manual

Amp Draw Meter

The amperage draw meter (Figure 17) is located
above the control panel. Use the meter to monitor
the amperage draw on
forming sanding operations.
As a general rule, always start with a small
load and work your way up. DO NOT work your
machine to its maximum load, where you can
hear the motor lose RPM; instead, make multiple
passes or install a coarser grit paper.
Amp load will be directly affected by many factors
such as feed rate, depth of cut, wood type, sand-
paper grit, and workpiece width. If the amp load is
in the red load range, the machine is overloaded
and motor damage will occur. Keep the amp load
in the green range during operation.

DO NOT VOID WARRANTY! Keep the amp
