With the new Griz 1023 in my garage, it's time to plug it in and tune it up however I've run into a little bit of a conundrum.
Not being super savvy on electrical stuff but having googled it a bit, I've managed to make myself more confused while trying to figure this out.
My saw came with the plug in the photo below. This appears to be an under spec plug for the amperage of the saw (5HP model, 30amp). Am I correct in this statement?
Also, it doesn't match the 240 receptacle in my space which looks more like the dryer plug style receptacle. I'm planning on installing a new receptacle in the wall beside my saw (because it's directly adjacent the fuse box, I'm assuming this will be superior in all ways to running cord from the other corner of the garage (20 ft) to my saw.
The question is: what plug end should I be using? Also, the breaker is 30amps which might be a touch on the low side for when the saw first fires up. Should I beef that breaker up as well?
