-6- 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws
Model G0506/G0507
The Model G0506/G0507 Bandsaw is pre-wired
for single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal
use, the Model G0506 2 HP motor draws approx-
imately 12 amps. We recommend a 15 amp cir-
cuit. This includes a 15 amp circuit breaker, plug,
receptacle and wiring rated for at least 15 amps.
Under normal use, the Model G0507 3 HP motor
draws approximately 22 amps. We recommend a
25 amp circuit. This includes a 25 amp circuit
breaker, plug and wiring rated for at least 25
amps. These circuits should be satisfactory for
normal use, while providing enough protection
against damage caused by an overloaded circuit.
If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
bandsaw, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor.
This bandsaw must be connected to its own ded-
icated circuit; it should not share a circuit with any
other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is nec-
essary for use with the Model G0506/G0507.
This bandsaw is not supplied with a cord and
power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style
L6-25 plug and outlet similar to
Figure 1. You
may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your
panel, provided you place a disconnect switch
near the machine. Check the electrical codes in
your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
Please refer to the wiring diagram on
page 30 for
power hook-up information.

Be sure that your particular electrical config-
uration complies with local and state codes.
The best way to ensure compliance is to
check with your local municipality or a
licensed electrician.
