110V Operation
110V Amperage Draw
The Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW motors can
be rewired for 110V if you use a different switch.
If you rewire your machine for 110V, the motors
will draw the following load:
G0500......................................................24 amp
G1018......................................................18 amp
G1018HW................................................18 amp
Plug Type
The cord set enclosed does not have a plug as
the style of plug you require will depend upon the
type of service you currently have or plan to
install. We recommend using the following plugs
for your machine on a dedicated circuit only (see
Figures 2 & 3 for examples):
G0500............................................5-30 or L5-30
G1018............................................5-20 or L5-20
G1018HW......................................5-20 or L5-20
NOTICE
The Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW is
prewired for 220V operation. If you plan to
rewire your machine for 110V, you must
use a different switch. Consult a licensed
electrician before attempting to rewire your
machine!

DO NOT connect your machine to the power
source until you have completed the assem-
bly process and have been instructed to do
so in this manual. Otherwise, serious per-
sonal injury could occur.
110V Circuit Breaker Requirements
Use the following guidelines when choosing a cir-
cuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are
not adequate to protect the circuit):
G0500......................................................25 amp
G1018......................................................20 amp
G1018HW................................................20 amp
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage load from your
machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician.
If you operate your jointer 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.
