220V Single-Phase Grounding
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.

Circuit Requirements
We recommend connecting this machine to a
dedicated circuit with a verified ground, using the
circuit breaker size given below. Never replace a
circuit breaker with one of higher amperage with-
out consulting a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with wiring codes.
If you are unsure
about the wiring codes in your area or you

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
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!
Extension Cords
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 220V with your machine:
• Use at least a 12 gauge cord 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.
