SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

The Model H3390 is wired to operate at 110V. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used at all times when using this saw. If an outlet is not available that is equipped with a GFCI, use a GFCI plug adapter between the saw power cord

and a properly grounded outlet. See Figure 1 for

a typical 110V plug and GFCI outlet.

Under normal 110V use, the Model H3390 motor draws approximately 15 amps. Use a 20 amp circuit breaker or a 20 amp slow-blow fuse.

If the machine is not wired correctly a fire could result. Make sure your wiring, receptacle, plug, and circuit breaker can handle the amperage draw of the machine. If you are not sure that your electrical circuit can handle the amperage draw, get a qualified electrician to test your electrical system and do any required upgrades. DO NOT attempt to modify an existing circuit by only replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage draw than the wiring, receptacle, and plug are rated for.

The circuit you use should be dedicated, (i.e., the machine should provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit failures occur when using this machine, contact our Service Department or your local electrical contractor.

Grounding Extension Cord

Reduce the risk of electrocution by keeping all connections dry and off the ground. DO NOT touch plugs with wet hands. Failure to follow these warning could result in serious injury.

NOTICE

The wire on the power cord with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the grounding conductor.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding provides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the operator. Ground the power cord and this machine in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Operating this machine when it is not properly grounded can result in electric shock or electrocution.

No single list of electrical guidelines can be comprehensive for all shop environments. Operating this machinery may require additional electrical upgrades specific to your machine and shop environment. It is your responsibility to make sure your electrical systems comply with all local electrical codes and ordinances.

Only use extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These types of extension cords are designated with a label stating, “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors when

not in use.” Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for

the extension cord. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Clean Up Site Considerations

Unsupervised children and visitors entering a shop could receive serious personal injury. Ensure child and visitor safety by keeping all entrances to the shop locked at all times. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in the shop at any time.

Unpainted surfaces may be coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this waxy oil with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some

parts may need to be removed. The machine

will operate best when the waxy oil is removed from all moving and sliding parts.

Chlorine-based cleaners and solvents will damage the painted surfaces of the machine. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Gasoline or petroleum products used to clean the machinery could explode causing serious personal injury. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.

Smoking near solvents could ignite an explosion or fire causing serious injury. DO NOT smoke while using solvents.

Lack of ventilation while using solvents could cause serious personal health risks, fire, or environmental hazards. Always work in a well ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation of dangerous fumes. Supply the work area with a constant supply of fresh air using a fan.

Floor Load

The Model H3390 is a medium load with a medium footprint. Most commercial or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce the floor if you question its ability to support the weight.

Working Clearance

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 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

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Be sure to follow local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting or circuits.
