Power Supply Circuit Requirements
The power supply circuit for your machine MUST
be grounded and rated for the amperage given
below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an exist-
ing circuit with one of higher amperage without
consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compli-
ance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about
the wiring codes in your area or you plan to
connect your machine to a shared circuit, con-
sult a qualified electrician.
Minimum Circuit Size .............................15 Amps
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using extension cords, but
if you find it absolutely necessary:
Use at least a 14 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
The extension cord must have 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 power before com-
pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect
the machine to the power until instructed
later in this manual.
Electrocution or fire could
result if machine is not
grounded and installed in
compliance with electrical
codes. Compliance MUST
be verified by a qualified
electrician!
Power Connection Device

SHOCK HAZARD!
Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding
requirements for this machine. Do not modify
or use an adapter on the plug provided—if
it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified
electrician install the proper outlet with a
verified ground.
