Grizzly G1023 Saw User Manual


 
G1023 Heavy-Duty Table Saw -7-
Circuit Requirements
The Model G1023 Table Saw has one 3 HP
motor. It has been pre-wired to operate at 220V,
single phase operation and cannot be operated
at 110V. The Model G1023 motor will safely draw
about 18 amps at 220V. If you operate the table
saw 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 power failure still occurs, have the cir-
cuit inspected by a qualified electrician.
Circuit breakers/fuses: A 30 amp circuit break-
er or fuse should be used with a 220V dedicated
circuit. The general rule is to use the lightest
breaker or fuse that will hold under regular loads.
Circuit breakers or fuses that are rated higher
may not adequately protect the motor.
The Model G1023 is not equipped with a plug. It
will be necessary to connect a plug that is suit-
able for your 220V receptacle. Figure 1.
This equipment must be grounded. Please
ensure that the Model G1023 is continuously
grounded from the motor to the machine frame
and then to a known ground. Verify that any exist-
ing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug
into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be nec-
essary 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.
CAUTION: Be sure that your particular electrical
configuration complies with local and state codes.
The best way to ensure compliance is to check
with your local municipality or licensed electri-
cian.
