-6- G1182 6" Series Jointers
110V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
A 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used
when fusing this (tool description). Circuit break-
ers rated any higher may not be adequate to pro-
tect the circuit from power surges.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G1182 series of jointers, 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
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances 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
electric current a path of least resistance. This
tool is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1.
The outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
The Model G1182 Jointer Series is wired for
110/120V, single- phase operation. The 1 H.P.
motor is dual voltage; however, we do not recom-
mend converting to 220V because the magnetic
switch is only rated for 110V. The motor will safe-
ly draw 14 amps at 110V. If you operate this
machine 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.
