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 that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Verify that any existing
electrical outlet and cir-
cuit you use is actually
grounded. If not, it will be
necessary to run a sepa-
rate 12 A.W.G. copper
grounding wire from the
outlet to a known ground.
If not grounded properly,
serious personal injury
could occur.
220V Operation
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to
eliminate the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord at 220V with your Grizzly 8"
Jointer:
•Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• 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 51-100 feet.
110V Operation
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
at 110V with your Grizzly 8" jointer:
• Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service
(grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• Use at least a 10 gauge cord if the cord is 50
feet long or less.
•DONOT use a cord longer that 50 feet!
