Electrocution or fire may occur if machine is ungrounded, incorrectly connected to power, or connected to an undersized circuit. Use a qualified electrician to ensure a safe power connection.

Once your machine is set up and assembled as previously described in this manual, it is ready to be connected to the power source.

If you plan to use the machine at 110V, simply plug it into a receptacle on a 110V circuit that meets the requirements listed on Page 10.

If you plan to use the machine at 220V, you will have to convert the machine for 220V. Refer to Electrical, beginning on Page 41.
