G0526 6" Jointer
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.
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we do not recommend the use of exten-
sion cords. Instead, position your equipment near
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords.
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.
The Model G0526 can be rewired to operate on a
220V power source; however, the MA-15
Magnetic Overload Switch (18-26A) must be
replaced with an MA-9 Magnetic Overload Switch
(8-12A). To order the MA-9, call our customer
service number at (800) 523-4777 and purchase
part #
P0526349.
The motor must also be rewired to handle the
220V power source. The correct wiring configura-
tion can be found on the inside of the motor wire
cover, as well as on page 48.
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and
the rewiring job should be inspected by a licensed
electrician before turning the machine ON.

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.
