110V Operation

Serious personal injury could occur if you

We recommend connecting your machine to a
dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for
the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit
breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electri-

ration does not comply
with local and state codes.
Ensure
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.
