CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING
:
Serious personal injury could occur if you connect your machine to the power source before you have
completed the setup process. Do not connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.
The Model
is wir
HG
for 3-phase operation.
The Model
has 20 HP main motor.
Circuit Breaker Requirements
Install your bandsaw on a dedicated circuit to reduce the possibility of overloading the circuit and tripping
the circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have the
circuit inspected by a qualified electrician. Never use a larger circuit breaker than stated below, or you
will increase the risk of fire.
Connection Type
Because of the high amperage draw from this machine, we recommend that you hardwire it directly to
your circuit breaker and install a locking shut-off lever near the machine as a way to quickly disconnect
the power.
Your factory Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your
machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure,
consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is
close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power
failure still occurs, refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual or contact a qualified electrician or
our service department.
CAUTION
:
Be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to
ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
