Use With Extension Cords - Craftex CX Series Manual

reduce the chances of electrical shock by
providing a path of least resistance for the
electric current to travel through. For this
reason the CX06Z comes with a cord
equipped with a grounding wire that leads
in to the grounding prong on the plug.
NOTE:
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 it is not
meant for this configuration. ( see figure 1)
Figure 1
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
.
If ever you notice damage or wear to either
the cord or plug disconnect it immediately
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.
NOTE:
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.
This may cause the thermal 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 wire with a
plug that matches the one currently
installed on your machine. The extension
cord must also
