220V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
The Model G1033 should be fused at 30 amps.
Fusing at amperage ratings higher than 30 amps
will not adequately protect the motor. You are
cautioned that equipment that is returned to us
for service that shows evidence of being over-
fused will be repaired or replaced totally at the
customer’s expense, regardless of the present
warranty status.
Fusing
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords. Should it be necessary to use an
extension make sure the cord is rated Hard
Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in
Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the
minimum gauge for the extension cord. The
extension cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension
cords when they become worn or damaged.
Extension Cords
Grounding
This equipment must be grounded.
Please
ensure that this machine is continuously
grounded from the motor to the machine frame
and then to a known ground. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend
to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it
will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G.
copper grounding wire from the outlet to a
known ground. Under no circumstances should
the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug
be removed.
Serious injury may occur.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor. The out-
let must be properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The 3 HP G1033 Planer motor is wired to oper-
ate at 220V only. A 220V plug that matches your
220V receptacle must attach to the end of the
power cord. Plugs and receptacles can be pur-
chased at your local hardware store or home
center. When connecting to 220V, ensure that
the electrical circuit is in fact a 220V circuit.
Contact your local electrical contractor if uncer-
tain about converting to 220V operation. A wiring
diagram for the motor and switch is provided at
the back of this manual should more detail be
needed.
When operating at 220V, we recommend using a
NEMA-style 6-30 plug and outlet.
See Figure 1

You may also “hard-wire” the planer directly to
your panel, provided you place a disconnect
switch near the machine.
