amps under load. Total amperage draw for this

Use a 35 amp circuit breaker for the Model

Department. The sander must be connected to its
own dedicated circuit and should not share a cir-
cuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole
breaker is necessary for use with the sander.
We recommend using a NEMA-style 6-50 plug
and outlet (similar to the one shown in Figure 1)
for the Model G9983. You may also "hard-wire"
the sander directly to your panel, provided you
place a disconnect near the machine. Check the
electrical codes in your area for specifics on
wiring requirements.
