The Model G0550/G0551 motor is wired to oper-
ate at 220V only. The planer motors draw the fol-
lowing amperage:
Amperage Draw

Use the following guidelines when choosing a cir-
cuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are
not adequate to protect the circuit):

We recommend using a NEMA-style 6-15 plug
and outlet with the G0550 as shown in Figure 1a
and an L6-20 plug and outlet for the G0551 as
shown in Figure 1b. You may also “hard-wire”
the planer directly to your panel, provided you
place a disconnect near the machine. Check the
electrical codes in your area for specifics on
wiring requirements.
