SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The Model G9922 is wired for 110/120V, single
phase operation only. The
draw 4.5 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 electrician or our service department.
Fusing
A 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used
when fusing this oscillating spindle sander.
Circuits rated any higher are not adequate to pro-
tect the wiring.
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 G9922, make sure the cord is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to
the chart in the standard safety instructions 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.

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.
