Circuit Requirements 220V Operation; Extension Cords; Grounding - Grizzly G4003 Manual Insert

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V Operation
The Model G4002/3 is wired for 220 volt, single
phase operation. The 2 HP motor will safely draw
9 amps at 220V. A 10-amp fuse or circuit break-
er should be used when connecting this metal
lathe. Circuits rated any higher are not adequate
to protect the motor.
If you operate this lathe 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.
Equipment returned to us for service that shows
evidence of being over-fused will be repaired or
replaced totally at the customer's expense,
regardless of the present warranty status.

Extension Cords

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model G4002/3, 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.

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 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.
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually ground-
ed. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a
separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire
from the outlet to a known ground. Under
no circumstances should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged plug be removed.
Serious injury may occur.
