Plug And Grounding Requirements - Craftex CX series User Manual

PLUG AND GROUNDING
REQUIREMENTS
This machine must be grounded so that in
the event of certain malfunctions it will reduce
the chances of electrical shock by providing
a path of lesser resistance for the electric
current to travel through. For this reason
the CX06BTSC comes with a cord equipped
with an equipment grounding wire that leads
in to the grounding prong on the plug.
The three prong plug is only to be
plugged in to the matching receptacle
that is properly installed according to
the local electrical codes and standards.
Under no circumstances should you modify
the plug to make it fit in a receptacle
that is not meant for this configuration.
If there is an improper connection of
a machine grounding wire it may result
in a heightened risk of electric shock. If
repair or replacement of the power cord
is necessary in the future please consult
a licensed electrician.
NOTE
If ever you notice damage or wear to ei-
ther the cord or plug disconnect it imme-
diately from the power supply and have
it replaced by a licensed electrician or
service tech before any further use of
the machine.
USE WITH EXTENSION CORDS
If you absolutely must require the use of an
extension cord with your machine do so, on
a temporary short term basis only.
1. We recommend that you do not use an
extension cord with this machine. Also
the longer the extension cord the greater
the possibility of voltage drop causing
the motor to work harder under powered
which in turn will cause it to draw more
amps. Th is may cau se t he t h e r ma l
overload to trip or even the breaker in
your electrical panel. It may also cause
the extension cord to heat up which
can be a potential fire hazard.
2. If an extension cord is used with this
machine it must have a ground wi r e
with a plug that matches the one cur-
rently installed on your machine. The
extension cord m u s t a l s o m e e t t h e
following specifications below:
