Extreme Duty Planers -7-
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance to disperse electric
current. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord
that has an equipment-grounding conductor
which must be properly connected to 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 the risk of electric shock.
Extension Cords
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 exten-
sion
cords.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical out-
let
and circuit you intend
to plug into is actually
grounded. Under no cir-
c
umstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
The Model G9740/G9740Z Planer is prewired
with a 10 HP 3-phase motor, which may be
rewired to 440V. Please use the following specs
preparing your shop for the machine, and always
have the wiring inspected by licensed electrician
before operating your machine.

Circuit Breaker at 220V ......................... 35 amp
Plug and Receptacle at 220V .................. 15-50
Total
Amperage Draw at 440V .............. 15 amp
Circuit Breaker at 440V ......................... 20 amp
Plug and Receptacle at 440V ................ L16-20

The planer must be connected to a dedicated
circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other
machine. If frequent circuit failure occurs when
using the planer, contact our service depart-
ment.
In
addition, you may also “hard-wire” the planer
directly to your panel, provided you place a lock-
ing
power disconnect near the machine. Check
the electrical codes in your area for specifics on
wiring requirements.
