Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we do not recommend the use of exten-
sion cords. Instead, position your equipment near
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords.

Extension Cords

In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding
wire in the power cord must be properly connect-
ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise,
the outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed. All electrical connections must be made in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor increases the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if you do not understand
the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the
machine is properly grounded.

Grounding

Electrocution or fire could

result if this machine is

not grounded correctly

or if your electrical con-

figuration does not com-

ply with local and state

codes. Ensure compliance

by checking with a quali-

fied electrician!

When using a phase converter, the power from
the manufactured power leg (sometimes called
the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manu-
factured power leg to the S terminal to prevent
damage to the transformer. The wire from the S
terminal can handle some fluctuation because it
goes directly to the motor. The power going to the
R and T terminals goes to the transformer and
must be consistent to prevent damage.
