-6- 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws
Model G3620/G9966
The Model G3620/G9966 Bandsaw is pre-wired
for 3-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use,
the 7
1
⁄2 HP motor for this model draws approxi-
mately 19 amps. We recommend using a 25 amp
circuit, including a 25 amp circuit breaker and wir
-
ing rated for at least 25 amps. If frequent circuit
breaker failures occur when using the bandsaw,
contact our service department.
This bandsaw must be connected to its own
dedicated circuit. It should not share a circuit with
any other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is
necessary for use with the Model G9963.
We recommend using a NEMA-style L15-30
plug and outlet, similar to Figure 2. You may
also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your
panel, provided you place a disconnect near the
machine. Check the electrical codes in your area
for specifics on wiring requirements.

440V Operation
The Model G3620/G9966 Bandsaw is furnished
with a 7
1
⁄2 HP 3-phase motor that can be wired
to 440V. Under normal use, this motor draws
approximately 10 amps at 440V. If 440V opera
-
tion is desired, we recommend using a 15 amp
circuit that includes the appropriate wiring and
circuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur
when using the bandsaw, contact our service
department.
The bandsaw must be connected to its own dedi
-
cated 10A circuit. It should not share a circuit with
any other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is
necessary for 440V use.
This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug.
We recommend “hard-wiring” the bandsaw to the
power source, provided you place a locking shut
off switch near the machine to disconnect the
power. Check the electrical codes in your area for
specifics on wiring requirements.
If you convert the bandsaw to 440V, the stock
mag switch must be replaced with a differ
-
ent mag switch specifically for 440V use. The
440 mag switch is not included with your
bandsaw.
