Woodstock W1815 manual Grounding Requirements, Extension Cords

Model W1815 (Mfg. Since 10/10)

ELECTRICAL

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment- grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

For 220V Connection

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and NEMA 6-15 grounding plug. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see =`^li\) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Extension Cords

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 220V	14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better)	50 ft.

NOTICE

No adapter is available or should be used with this machine. If the machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the machine must comply with all local codes and ordinances.
