Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(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 require-
ments:

Minimum Gauge Size ...........................16 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is better).......50 ft.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

the machine to power before completing the

setup process. DO NOT connect to power

until instructed 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 electrician to install
the proper outlet. do not change the plug in any
way.
