Extension CordsGrounding
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug
to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly or
if your electrical configu
-
ration does not comply
with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by
checking with a qualified
electrician!
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 110V with your machine:
• Use at least a 10 gauge cord for 110V and 14
gauge cord for 220V 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.
