-6- G1148 15" Bandsaw

110V Operation

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

A 15-amp slow-blow fuse or circuit breaker

should be used on the 110V circuit this bandsaw

is connected to. Circuits rated any higher are not

adequate to protect the motor from power surges.

If you operate this sander 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 ser-

vice department.

Fusing

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord

with the Model G1148, 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.

If it is not, it will be necessary to run a sep-

arate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from

the outlet to a known ground. 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 a

path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-

rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-

ing an equipment-grounding conductor. See

Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

The Model G1148 is wired for 110V, single phase

operation only. The

⁄4 HP motor will safely draw

13 amps at 110V. The motor can also be run on

220V where it will draw 6.5 amps, however addi-

tional changes may be necessary to make this

work. See the Wiring Diagram near the back of

this manual for more information.
