Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following require- ments:
Minimum Gauge Size | 12 AWG |
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) | 50 ft. |
Model G1183/G1276 (Mfg. Since 3/10)
Voltage Conversion
The voltage conversion MUST be performed by an electrician or qualified service personnel. Make sure the power supply circuit for the new voltage meets the specified circuit requirement on Page 11.
To convert the machine to 220V:
1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.Replace the
