Proper Grounding - Craftex CX100 User Manual

PROPER GROUNDING

Grounding provides
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CX100 is equipped with a 220 single phase
motor which features a 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding plug to fit a
grounded type receptacle. Make sure the
cord is plugged into a properly installed and
grounded power outlet.
To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.
This appliance is for use on a normal 220-
volt circuit and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit
connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the appliance is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it must be
attached to the metal screw of the
receptacle.

WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX100. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
In case if you really find it necessary to use
an extension cord, make sure the extension
cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and
the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor
damage.
Your CX100 is equipped with a cord having
3-prongs which fits a 3 prong grounded
receptacle as shown in figure-3. Do not
remove the grounding prong to fit it into a 2-
pronged outlet. Always check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt.
