We do not recommend the use of extension cords with 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord when using either 110V or 220V. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or dam- aged.
We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your machine. These requirements are not nec- essarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
