POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a time delay fuse. NOTE: Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US. If an extension
cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will
accept the machine's plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the "OFF" position
and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should
make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
