Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance to disperse electric
current. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord that has 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 the risk of electric shock.

Extension Cords

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.

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.

The Model G9740/G9740Z Planer is prewired
with a 10 HP 3-phase motor, which may be
rewired to 440V. Please use the following specs
preparing your shop for the machine, and always
have the wiring inspected by licensed electrician
before operating your machine.

Total Amperage Draw at 220V .............. 32 amp

Circuit Breaker at 220V ......................... 35 amp

Plug and Receptacle at 220V .................. 15-50

Total Amperage Draw at 440V .............. 15 amp

Circuit Breaker at 440V ......................... 20 amp

Plug and Receptacle at 440V ................ L16-20

Cord ..............................................3-pole, 4-wire

The planer must be connected to a dedicated
circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other
machine. If frequent circuit failure occurs when
using the planer, contact our service depart-
ment.

In addition, you may also “hard-wire” the planer
directly to your panel, provided you place a lock-
ing power disconnect near the machine. Check
the electrical codes in your area for specifics on
wiring requirements.
