You MUST connect your machine to a grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing cir- cuit with one of higher amperage without consult- ing a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to con- nect your machine to a shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

Minimum Cord Requirements

For 220V connection, use a stranded-copper flex- ible cord that meets the minimum requirements listed below, does not exceed 50 ft., and has an insulation type that starts with "S." A qualified electrician MUST determine the best cord to use in your environment depending on exposure to moisture, heat, and oils.

Cord Requirements 14/3 AWG, 300VAC

Power Connection Device

The type of plug required to connect your machine to power depends on the type of service you cur- rently have or plan to install. We recommend using the plug shown in Figure 2.

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.
