Circuit Breaker Requirements

We recommend that you dedicate a circuit to your machine. Use the following guideline when choosing a circuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the cir- cuit):

Recommended Circuit Breaker

Your Circuit Capacity

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage load from your machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

If you operate this machine on any circuit that is already close to its load capacity, it may blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. If the circuit is not overloaded and the fuse or circuit breaker still trips, contact a qualified electrician or our Service Department at (570) 546-9663.

Serious personal injury could occur if you connect your machine to the power source before you have completed the assembly process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.
