G1026 Heavy-Duty Shaper
-7-
Figure 1. Recommended plug configuration.
220V Operation
The G1026 Shaper is furnished with a 3450
R.P.M. 3 H.P., 220V motor, push-button ON-OFF
magnetic starter switch, forward-reverse switch
and a cord set. Under normal use, the motor draws
approximately 18 amps at 220V. We recommend
a 20 amp circuit breaker or a 20 amp slow-blow
fuse. If frequent circuit failures occur when using
the shaper, contact our service department.
The shaper motor must be connected to its own
dedicated 20 amp circuit. It should not share a
circuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole
breaker should be satisfactory for use with the
shaper.
We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-20 plug
and outlet shown
Figure 1. You may also “hard-
wire” the shaper directly to your panel, provided
you place a disconnect near the machine. Check
the electrical codes in your area for specifics on
wiring requirements.
Grounding
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides electric current a path of least
resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor which must
be properly connected to a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical out
-
let and circuit you intend
to plug into is actually
grounded. Under no cir
-
cumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
