ELECTRICAL

220V Operation

The Model M1048 is wired for 220V operation. Always connect this machine to a dedicated circuit (wire, break- er, plug, receptacle) with a verified ground, using the recommended circuit size and plug/receptacle listed at the bottom of this page.

Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amper- age without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire haz- ard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

Electrocution or severe shock could occur if machine is not grounded.

ELECTRICAL

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V operation. When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines:

•Use cords rated for Standard Service

•Never exceed a length of 50 feet

•Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

•Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! Verify that any exist- ing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate copper grounding wire, of the appropri- ate size, from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should you connect your machine to an ungrounded power source or electrocution or severe shock could occur.

Replacing an existing circuit breaker with one rated for higher amperage may result in a fire. Get help from an electrician if your circuit is too small for the machine.
