Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords. Instead, arrange the placement of your
equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate
the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord at 220V with your machine:
Use at least a 12 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.
