Grounding
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment grounding conductor. Improper
connections of the electrical-grounding conductor
can result in the risk of electric shock. The con-
ductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
If you find it necessary to use an extension
cord with this machine:
• Only use a Grade S or heavier-duty cord.
• Only use a cord with a grounding prong.
• Use at least a 18 gauge cord if the cord is 25
feet long or less.
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is
between 26-50 feet.
• Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is
between 51-100 feet.
Extension Cords
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove the 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.
Electrocution or fire may
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly.
Verify that any existing
electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is
actually grounded. DO
NOT use the machine if it
is not grounded.
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The Model G0505 motor is designed to operate at
110V and includes a 110V plug.
Under normal 110V use, the motor draws approx-
imately 10 amps. We recommend that you use a
15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow-blow
fuse with your machine.
We also recommend that you use a dedicated cir-
cuit, (i.e., the Model G0505 should provide the
only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit fail-
ures occur when using the planer, contact our
Service Department or your local electrical con-
tractor.
NOTICE
The Model G0505 cannot be rewired for
220V operation! Attempting to do this will
void the warranty and will ruin the machine.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides electric current a path of least
resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
