G0500/G1018/G1018HW 8" Jointers -7-
220V Operation
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Amperage Draw
The Model G0500/G1018/G1018HW motors are
prewired at 220V and will draw the following load:
G0500....................................................12 amps
G1018......................................................9 amps
G1018HW................................................9 amps
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
Figure 1 for an example):
G0500............................................6-15 or L6-15
G1018............................................6-15 or L6-15
G1018HW......................................6-15 or L6-15
Circuit Breaker Requirements
We recommend that the circuit you use your
machine on should be dedicated. Because the
machine motors are different sizes, please use
the following guidelines when choosing a circuit
breaker for your machine (circuit breakers rated
any higher are not adequate to protect the cir-
cuit):
G0500 ....................................................15 amp
G1018 ....................................................10 amp
G1018HW ..............................................10 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.

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.
