Extension Cords
Using extension cords may reduce the life of the motor. Instead, place the machine near a power source. If you must use an extension cord:
•Use at least a 14 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length!
•The extension cord must also have a ground wire and plug pin.
•A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
