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 ground it. 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, but if you find it absolutely necessary:
•Use at least a 14 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.
