G0592 Metal Cutting Bandsaw

-11-

Serious  personal  injury  could  occur  if  you 

connect  the  machine  to  the  power  source 

before you have completed the set up pro-

cess.  DO  NOT  connect  the  machine  to  the 

power source until instructed to do so.

220V Single-Phase

Grounding

In  the  event  of  an  electrical  short,  grounding 
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding 
wire in the power cord must be properly connect-
ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, 
the outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed.  All  electrical  connections  must  be  made  in 
accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Amperage Draw

The  Model  G0592  motor  draws  the  following 
amps under maximum load:

Motor Draw at 220V .............................. 15 Amps

Circuit Requirements

We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this 
machine. You MUST connect your machine to a 
grounded  circuit  that  is  rated  for  the  amperage 
given  below.  Never  replace  a  circuit  breaker  on 
an  existing  circuit  with  one  of  higher  amper-
age  without  consulting  a  qualified  electrician  to 
ensure compliance with wiring codes. 

If you are 

unsure about the wiring codes in your area or 

you plan to connect your machine to a shared 

circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

220V Circuit ...........................................20 Amps

Plug/Receptacle Type

Recommended Plug/Receptacle ....NEMA L6-20

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Electrocution or fire could 

result  if  this  machine  is 

not  grounded  correctly 

or  if  your  electrical  con-

figuration  does  not  com-

ply  with  local  and  state 

codes. Ensure compliance 

by  checking  with  a  quali-

fied electrician!

Extension Cords

We  do  not  recommend  the  use  of  extension 
cords.  Instead,  arrange  the  placement  of  your 
equipment  and  the  installed  wiring  to  eliminate 
the need for extension cords.

If  you  find  it  absolutely  necessary  to  use  an 
extension cord at 220V with your machine:

• 

Use at least a 12 gauge cord that does not 
exceed 50 feet in length!

• 

The  extension  cord  must  also  contain  a 
ground wire and plug pin.

• 

A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
