SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
Figure 1. NEMA 5-15 plug and
grounded outlet.
Amperage Draw
The Model G0518 is prewired to operate at 110V,
with an amperage draw of approximately 12A.
Plug Type
The Model G0518 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15
plug. DO NOT modify the plug or power cord in
any way. See
Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and
grounded outlet.
Circuit Breaker Requirements
We recommend operating the machine on a ded-
icated circuit. Because the machine draws 12A
when operated at 110V, use a 15A circuit break-
er. Circuit breakers rated any higher are not ade-
quate to protect the circuit from overheating and
fire.
Your 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 regu-
larly, 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, contact a
qualified electrician or our service department.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the assembly
process. DO NOT connect the machine to
the power source until instructed to do so.
