POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. A suitable circuit should not be less than AWG12/3 wiring where the ground wire is attached to an earth ground. The circuit should be protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse. NOTE: Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

SHOCK HAZARD. Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.

Risk of Overheating. Certain electric motors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.

•Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.

•Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.

•Extension cords comply with specifications.

•Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse. NOTE: If the motor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the U.S.

If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the electric motor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120/240 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
