Before installing this machine, consider the
availability and proximity of the required power
supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not
meet the requirements for this machine, a new
circuit must be installed to minimize the risk
of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage,
installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by a qualified electrician in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards.

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the
machine is overloaded, it will draw additional
amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To
reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading
the machine during operation and make sure it is
connected to a power supply circuit that meets
the requirements in the following section.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the main breaker box or fuse
panel in your building and the incoming power
connections at the machine. This circuit must be
sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn
from the machine for an extended period of time.

manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only
one machine will be running at a time. If this
machine will be connected to a shared circuit
where multiple machines will be running at the
same time, consult a qualified electrician to
ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe
operation.
