Grounding; Extension Cords - Grizzly G1012 Instruction Manual

Grounding

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides electric current a path of least
resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment grounding conductor. A plug with a
grounding pin must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.
The conductor with green or green and yellow
striped insulation is the electrical grounding con-
ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if you are in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords imme-
diately.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension
cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to
arrange the placement of your equipment and the
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords.
If you must use an extension, make sure the cord
is rated Hard Service (Grade S) or better. Refer
to the chart in the safety instructions to determine
the minimum gauge for the extension cord. Use
only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that
accept the tool plug. Always repair or replace
extension cords when they become worn or dam-
aged.
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
bandsaw. These requirements are not nec-
essarily comprehensive. You must be sure
that your particular electrical configuration
complies with local and state codes. Ensure
compliance by checking with your local
municipality or a licensed electrician.
