W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)

ELECTRICAL

The machine must be properly set up before it is safe to operate. DO NOT connect this machine to the power source until instructed to do so in the "Test Run" portion of this manual.

110V Operation

The Model W1758 is wired for 110V operation. We recom- mend connecting this machine to a dedicated circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit size below as a mini- mum. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes.

This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord sup- plied with this machine comes with a grounding pin. If your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician.

If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared cir- cuit, you may create a fire or circuit overload hazard— consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord; however, if you have no alternative, use the following guidelines:

•Use a cord rated for Standard Service (S).

•Do not use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.

•Ensure that the cord has a ground wire and pin.

•Use the gauge size listed below as a minimum.

DO NOT work on your electrical system if you are unsure about electrical codes and wiring! Seek assistance from a qualified electrician. Ignoring this warning can cause electrocution, fire, or machine damage.
