G1023S/G1023S110 Heavy-Duty 10'' Table Saw -9-
220V Operation
The Model G1023S is wired to operate at 220V.
The cord set enclosed does not have a plug as
the style of plug you require will depend upon
the type of service you currently have or plan to
install. The motor will safely draw about 18 amps
at 220V under load. If you operate the Model
G1023S 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 power failure still occurs, have the cir-
cuit inspected by a qualified electrician.
Because of the high amperage draw of this
machine, standard household circuit wiring may
not be of a large enough gauge. A qualified elec-
trician may need to install a new circuit with wiring
capable of handling an 18 amperage draw. Do not
attempt to modify an existing circuit by replacing
the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher
amperage.
Circuit Load
When operating at 220V, we recommend using
a NEMA-style L6-20 plug and outlet. See
Figure
5C. You may also “hard-wire” the machine directly
to your panel, provided you place a disconnect
switch near the machine. Check the electrical
codes in your area for specifics on wiring require-
ments.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate-
ly 18 amps at 220V. We recommend a 20 amp
circuit breaker for 220V operation. This should
be satisfactory for normal use while providing
enough protection against circuit damage caused
by power surges. Always check to see if your cur-
rent wires are capable of handling a 18 amp load.
If you are unsure, consult the advice of a qualified
electrician.
