Circuit Information

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the main breaker box or fuse panel in your building and the incoming power connections inside the machine. This circuit must be safely sized to handle the full-load current that may be drawn from the machine for an extended period of time.

For your own safety and protection of property, consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about wiring practices or electrical codes in your area.

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Circuit Requirements for 110V

This machine is prewired to operate on a 110V power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage

110V/120V

Cycle

60 Hz

Phase

Single-Phase

Circuit Rating

15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle (included)

NEMA 5-15

Grounding Requirements

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

For 110V Connection (Prewired)

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug (similar to the figure below).

The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

For 220V Connection

Use the plug type listed in the Circuit Requirements for this voltage. The listed plug (similar to the figure below) has an equipment- grounding wire to safely ground the machine. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Circuit Requirements for 220V

This machine can be converted to operate on a 220V power supply. To do this, follow the Voltage Conversion instructions included in this manual. The intended 220V circuit must have a verified ground and meet the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage

................................ 220V/240V

Cycle
