is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Under no circumstances should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-
wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. See FIgure 1.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.
110V Operation
The G1017 planer operates on 110 volts. Under
normal use, the motor draws approximately 16
amps at 110V. We recommend a 20 amp circuit
breaker for 110V. This should be satisfactory for
normal use, while providing enough protection
against motor damage caused by power surges.
Grizzly recommends that the circuit you use
should be dedicated, (i.e., the G1017 should pro-
vide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent
circuit failures occur when using the planer, con-
tact our service department or your local electri-
cal contractor.
Grounding
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Be sure that your particular electrical con-
figuration complies with local and state
codes. The best way to ensure compliance
is to check with your local municipality or
licensed electrician. Serious personal injury
may occur.
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually grounded.
If it is not, it will be necessary to run a sep-
arate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from
the outlet to a known ground. Under no cir-
cumstances should the grounding pin from
any three-pronged plug be removed.
Serious personal injury may occur.
