Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords.
Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment

sion cord at 220V with your machine:
• Use at least a 14 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to the power source
