24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws

Model G3619
The Model G3619 Bandsaw is pre-wired for sin-
gle-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the
Model G3619 5 HP motor draws approximately
22 amps. We recommend a 30 amp circuit. This
includes a 30 amp circuit breaker and wiring rated
for at least 30 amps. This should be satisfactory
for normal use, while providing enough protection
against damage caused by an overloaded circuit.
If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
bandsaw, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor.
This bandsaw must be connected to its own
dedicated circuit; it should not share a circuit with
any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is
necessary for use with the Model G3619.
This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug.
We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-30 plug
and outlet similar to
Figure 1. You may also “hard-
wire” the bandsaw directly to your panel, provided
you place a disconnect near the machine.

Be sure that your particular electrical con-
figuration complies with local and state
codes. The best way to ensure compliance
is to check with your local municipality or a
licensed electrician.
Model G9963
The Model G9963 Bandsaw is pre-wired for
single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use,
the Model G9963 7.5 HP motor draws approxi-
mately 33 amps. We recommend using a 50 amp
circuit. This includes a 50 amp circuit breaker
and wiring rated for at least 50 amps. If frequent
circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw,
contact our service department or your local elec-
trical contractor.
This bandsaw must be connected to its own
dedicated circuit; it should not share a circuit with
any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is
necessary for use with the Model G9963.
This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug.
We recommend “hard-wiring” the bandsaw to the
power source, provided you place a locking shut
off switch near the machine to disconnect the
power.
