Grounding

 

Extension Cords

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 be made in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded correctly or if your electrical configu- ration does not comply with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with a qualified electrician!

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.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord at 110V with your machine:

Use at least a 10 gauge cord for 110V and 14 gauge cord for 220V that does not exceed 50 feet in length!

The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
