Circuit Breaker Requirements
We recommend that the circuit you use your
machine on should be dedicated. Because the
machine motors are different sizes, please use
the following guidelines when choosing a circuit
breaker for your machine (circuit breakers rated
any higher are not adequate to protect the cir-
cuit):
Recommended Circuit Breaker ..............10 Amp
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage load from your
machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician.
If you operate this machine on any circuit that is
already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse
or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual
load does not exist and a power failure still
occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our
Service Department at (570) 546-9663.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the assembly
process. DO NOT connect the machine to
the power source until instructed to do so.
