Circuit Recommendations

We recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated circuit with a verified ground (Figure 1), using the circuit breaker size given below. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri- cian. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire hazard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

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.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords. If you find it absolutely necessary:

Use at least a 16 gauge cord 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.
