G1013 Combination Sander -5-
110V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
A 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used
when fusing this combination sander. Circuit
breakers rated any higher are not adequate to
protect the circuit from power surges.
Fusing
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G1013, 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 extension
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.
Extension Cords
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 cur-
rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-
ing 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 G1013 is wired for 110V, single-phase
operation only. The
1
⁄
2 H.P. motor will safely draw
12 amps at 110V. If you operate this sander 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 elec-
trician or our service department.
