extension cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord 
with this machine. If you must use an extension 
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only 
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may 
damage electrical components and shorten motor 
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord 
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller 
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must 
contain a ground wire, match the required plug 
and receptacle, and meet the following require-
ments:
minimum gauge size ...........................10 aWg
maximum length (shorter is better).......50 ft.
grounding instructions
In the event of certain types of malfunctions or 
breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least 
resistance for electric current—in order to reduce 
the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The 
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow 
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair 
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding 
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
 
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding 
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether 
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice 
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with 
a new one.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
the machine to power before completing the
setup process. DO NOT connect to power
until instructed later in this manual.
The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit 
Requirements for 220V” on the previous page 
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground-
ing prong. The plug must only be inserted into 
a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly 
installed and grounded in accordance with all 
local codes and ordinances (see figure below).
