We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place- ment of your machinery and installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

This machine must be grounded! See Figure 2. The electrical cord supplied with the W1676 does not come with a 220 volt plug. Use a plug with a ground pin. If your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed and grounded properly.
