Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding
wire in the power cord must be properly connected
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.
All electrical connections must be made in accor-
dance with local codes and ordinances.
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not installed correctly or
the electrical installation
does not comply with local
and state codes. Ensure
compliance by using a
qualified electrician for the
electrical installation!
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
for the machine power supply. Instead, locate
your machine where you can eliminate the need
of an extension cord.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-
sion cord, make sure the extension cord contains
a ground wire, and a grounding lug.
Use at least a 10 gauge cord that does not exceed
50 feet in length!

ance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about
the wiring codes in your area or you plan to
connect your machine to a shared circuit, con-
sult a qualified electrician.
