G9984/G9985 Oscillating Belt Edge Sander -5-
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V Single-Phase 220V Three-Phase
G9984 Only:
The Model G9984 has a 3 H.P., 1725 R.P.M.
motor which requires a 220V single-phase circuit.
The cord set included does not have a plug, as
the style of plug you require will depend upon the
type of service you currently have or plan to
install. The motor will safely draw about 16 amps
at 220V under load. If you operate the Model
G9984 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 the circuit breaker still trips, have the
circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.
In preparing to connect the Model G9984 to your
existing or new circuit, it will be necessary to con-
nect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle. If
you will be installing a new receptacle and plug,
we recommend using a NEMA-style L6-20 plug
and outlet shown in Figure 1.
The Model G9984 should be fused at 20 amps.
Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by
replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a
higher amperage than the plug, outlet and wiring
can handle. Make sure that existing electrical
wires are capable of handling a 20 amp current. If
you are unsure, seek the assistance of a qualified
electrician.

G9985 Only:
The Model G9985 has a 3 H.P., 1725 R.P.M.
motor which requires a 220V three-phase circuit.
The cord set enclosed does not have a plug, as
the style of plug you require will depend upon the
type of service you currently have or plan to install.
The motor will safely draw about 9 amps at 220V
under load. If you operate the Model G9985 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
the circuit breaker still trips, have the circuit
