In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding
wire in the power cord must be properly connect-
ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise,
the outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed. All electrical connections must b e made in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords. Instead, arrange t he placement of your
equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate
the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-
sion cord with your machine, the extension cord
must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug
to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
When using a phase converter for 3-phase, the
power from the manufactured power leg (some-
times called the wild wire) c an fluctuate. Connect
the manufactured power leg to the S terminal to
prevent damage. The wire from the S terminal can
handle some fluctuation because it goes directly
to the motor. The power going to the R and T ter-
minals must be consistent to prevent damage.
