What are the electrical requirements for the G9953ZXF?

The jointer operates on 220V or 440V, 3-phase, 60 Hz power. At 220V, it draws 14A; at 440V, it draws 7A. Minimum circuit size: 20A for 220V and 15A for 440V.

Does the G9953ZXF come with a plug?

No, the jointer requires a permanent connection at 440V. At 220V, it includes a 4 ft., 10 AWG cord, but no plug. A 15-20 plug is recommended if a plug connection is needed for 220V.

Can it be converted for different voltages?

Yes, the P9953ZXF042 voltage conversion kit allows operation at 440V. A phase converter (G7979) is recommended if your shop does not have 3-phase power. IMPORTANT: To maintain the machine's warranty and ensure safety, 440V conversion must only be performed by an electrician or qualified service personnel.

What is the difference between the G9953ZX and the G9953ZXF?

• G9953ZX: Prewired for 220V, single-phase power supply.

• G9953ZXF: Prewired for 220V, 3-phase power supply and can be converted to operate on 440V, 3-phase.

To operate on 440V, the G9953ZXF must be rewired and some electrical components replaced. Grizzly can perform this conversion at the time of purchase for a $250 fee, with additional shipping time required. For "as-is" or second-hand machines purchased on the secondary market, Grizzly can supply a 440V conversion kit. This ensures warranty coverage and safety, preventing the risk of electrocution, severe burns, or death.
