SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V Operation |
|
Grounding |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The G1021 Planer motor is wired to operate at 220V only. A cordset without a 220V plug is included with the Model G1021. Plugs and receptacles can be purchased 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 uncertain about converting to 220V operation.
When operating at 220V, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet as depicted in Figure 1. You may also “hard-wire” the planer directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect switch near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
Figure 1. NEMA 6-15 220V/15A connector. |
Fusing
Under normal load, the Model G1021 draws about 12 amps. We recommend a 15-amp circuit or a 20-amp slow-blow fuse. A circuit rated any higher will not adequately protect the motor.
Equipment 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.
-8-
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 a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
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.
Extension Cords
If used, extension cords must be rated hard service – grade S – or better. Conductor size must be 12 AWG for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. To ensure safe and dependable machine performance, inspect cords frequently for wear or damage. Replace or repair the cord immediately if evidence of damage is apparent.

Unpacking
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed carton. If you find the machine to be damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the truck and driver are already gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need advice regarding this situation, please call us immediately.
WARNING
The G1021 is a heavy machine with a 475 lb. shipping weight. DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance. In the event that your planer must be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable of supporting the combined weight of people and the machine. Failure to use care while assembling or moving could result in serious personal injury.

Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment. Remove the protective coating with common paint thinner (mineral spirits) and paper towels. Do not use gasoline or other petroleum based solvents because of their extremely low flash points. Do not use chlorine-based solvents – if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the finish.
WARNING
Follow the safety rules listed below when working with solvents.
1.Read and follow all directions and warnings on the solvent label.
2.Work only in a well ventilated area.
3.Do not work near any type of open flame (e.g., pilot lights, kerosene heaters, and so on).
4.DO NOT smoke while working with flammable material.
5.Paper towels from the cleaning process are extremely combustible. Dispose of waste towels so they do not create a fire hazard.
CAUTION
Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be highly flammable, and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards. Keep children and animals safely away when cleaning and assembling this machine.
Site Considerations
FLOOR LOAD
Your G1021 Planer represents a relatively large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the Model G1021. Some residential floors may require additional support to accommodate both machine and operator.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
CAUTION
Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.
