Extension Cords
Polarized Plug
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor life.
Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and
the gauge smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers
indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required
plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size at 120V ......................16 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do later in
this manual.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this machine has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, turn it 180 degrees and try
again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
