G7211/7212 24" Bandsaw -5-
220V Operation
The motor supplied with the G7211 comes
prewired for 220V. Refer to the wiring diagram
supplied at the back of this manual for more spe-
cific information about wiring connections. The
G7212 is a 220V, three-phase motor and requires
special electrical service. See section on three-
phase operation on the next page.
This machine does not come supplied with a plug,
therefore a suitable 220V plug must be wired in.
When operating at 220V, we recommend using a
NEMA-style 6L-15 plug and outlet. See Figure 1.
You may also “hard-wire” the machine directly to
your panel, provided you place a disconnect
switch near the machine. Check the electrical
codes in your area for specifics on wiring require-
ments.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate-
ly 20 amps @ 220V. We recommend a 25 amp
circuit breaker for 220V operation. This should be
satisfactory for normal use while providing
enough protection against motor damage caused
by power surges.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the installed
wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.
Should it be necessary to use an extension, make
sure the cord is rated Hard Service (Grade S) or
better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: 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
Your G7211 machine comes pre-wired for 220
volt operation. A wiring diagram is provided at the
back of this manual should it be necessary to
repair or revise the wiring. Always utilize a quali-
fied electrician when doing any electrical work on
this equipment.
