230V Electrical Connection Instructions
CAUTION:
This machine will operate only on
AC frequency and on electrical volt-
age shown on the motor name-
plate. Make sure you have the
correct frequency and voltage be-
fore connecting the power cord to
an outlet. The machine has a plug
as shown in figure #1.
This machine must be connected to an electrically
ground circuit in order to protect the operator from electric
shock. This machine has an approved power cord with
three conductors as well as a plug with three terminals.
Connect the plug into a three holed receptacle. For
maximum protection against electric shock, use a circuit
that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the
machine is exposed to water or
rain. Keep the machine in a dry
building.
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if ma-
chine is improperly connected to
the electrical system. To prevent
possible electric shock, always use
a 3-wire electrical system con-
nected to an electrical ground. For
maximum protection against elec-
trical shock, use a circuit that is
protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter. Consult your electri-
cal contractor.
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the
ground pin is tampered with in any
way. Do not cut, remove, or break
the ground pin. Do not try to fit a
three-terminal plug into a recep-
tacle or connector body other than
a three plug receptacle or connec-
tor body. If the outlet does not fit
the plug, consult your electrical
contractor.
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the
machine is used with a damaged
plug or power cord. If the cords or
plugs are worn or damaged in any
way, have them replaced by an
authorized service person or elec-
trician.

Extension Cords
Use only an approved three-pronged extension cord with
two main conductors and one earthing conductor. This
machine's power cord has a wire size of 10 gauge. This
machine is equipped with a 100' power cord. When
greater range is needed follow the table below to deter-
mine cable gauge of additional footage. Refer to the
following chart for extension cord information.
