Circuit Requirements 110V Operation; Fusing; Extension Cords; Grounding - Grizzly G1015 Instruction Manual

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The Model G1015 is wired for 110/120V, single
phase operation only. The 1-HP motor will safely
draw 10 amps at 110V. If you operate this sander
on any circuit that is already close to its capacity,
it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.
However, if an unusual load does not exist and a
power failure still occurs, contact a qualified elec-
trician or our service department.

Fusing

A 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used
when fusing this sander/buffer. Circuits rated any
higher are not adequate to protect the motor from
excessive loads.
Equipment returned to us for service that shows
evidence of being over-fused will be repaired or
replaced totally at the customer's expense,
regardless of the present warranty status.

Extension Cords

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G1015, make sure the cord is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to
the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to
determine the minimum gauge for the extension
cord at the distance you require. The extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and plug
pin. Always repair or replace extension cords
when they become worn or damaged.

Grounding

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 a power cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually ground-
ed. 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.
Serious injury may occur.
