Just picked up a G1018 8" heavy duty jointer off craigslist for $400, not much of a gloat, but jointers are scarce in my area, especially 8"
Anyway...
The jointer came with the original manual which specs a 30A 220v circuit, see below

However, when I go on the Grizzly website and look up the manual for this machine, it specs a 10-amp, 220v breaker/circuit

I am inclined to believe the manual that came the machine. I also looked for a THQP double pole, 10A breaker and it doesnt seem to exist. But 30A vs 10A is a huge difference and could be dangerous if not sized properly. I've already sent a message to grizzly customer service, but I was hoping to get this installed today. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks.
