G1011 7" x 12'' Bandsaw -5-
110V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
A 20-amp slow-blow fuse or circuit breaker
should be used on the 110V circuit this bandsaw
is connected to. Circuits rated any higher are
not adequate to protect the motor from power
surges. If you operate this bandsaw 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.
Fusing
Extension Cords
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G1011Z, make sure the cord is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer
to the chart in the standard safety instructions
to determine the minimum gauge for the exten
-
sion cord. The extension cord must also contain
a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords when they become worn
or damaged.
Grounding
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually ground
-
ed. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a
separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire
from the outlet to a known ground. Under
no circumstances should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged plug be removed.
Serious injury may occur.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance to disperse electric
current. This tool is equipped with a power cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
The Model G1011Z is wired for 110V, single phase
operation only. The 1 HP motor will safely draw
16 amps at 110V. A complete Wiring Diagram for
the motor and switches is provided near the back
of this manual for more information.
