Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu-
larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician.
Grounding
Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correct-
ly. Make sure all electri-
cal circuits are ground-
ed. DO NOT use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.
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 that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
G0560 Meat-Cutting Bandsaw
Rewiring To 220V
The Model G0560 can be rewired to operate on a
220V power source. The motor must be rewired
according to the wiring diagram on the motor
label. The wiring configuration can also be found
on the inside of the motor wire cover, as well as
on page 33.
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and
the rewiring job should be inspected by a licensed
electrician before turning the machine ON.
Extension Cords
If you find it necessary to use an extension
cord with this machine:
•
Only use a cord that is rated for standard ser-
vice (Grade S).
•
Only use a cord that contains a grounding
prong.
•
Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50
feet long or less.
•
Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is
between 50-100 feet.
•
Always repair or replace cords when they
become worn or damaged.
We DO NOT recommend using an extension
cord if you are operating your bandsaw on a 220V
power source.
