G0512 Edge Sander
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Amperage Draw
The Model G0512 features a 110V/220V motor
that is prewired at 220V.
Motor Load at 220V ..............................10 amps
Motor Load at 110V ..............................20 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
Figures 1 & 2 for an example):
220V Plug & Receptacle..............................6-15
110V Plug & Receptacle..............................5-20
Circuit Breaker Requirements
Please use the following guidelines when choos-
ing a circuit breaker for your machine (circuit
breakers rated any higher are not adequate to
protect the circuit):
220V Circuit Breaker ..............................10 amp
110V Circuit Breaker ..............................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 sander on any cir-
cuit 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 fail-
ure 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.
NOTICE
The Model G0512 is prewired for 220V oper-
ation. 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!
