220V Operation
The Model W1816 is wired for 220V single-phase
operation. The power supply circuit used for this machine
MUST be grounded and rated for the amperage given

amperage without consulting a qualified electrician to
ensure compliance with wiring codes. This machine must
be connected to a grounded circuit!
A plug is not supplied with this machine. See below for
the recommended plug type for this machine.
If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area
or you plan to connect your machine to a shared cir-
cuit, you may create a fire or circuit overload hazard—
consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.
We do not recommend using an extension cord; however,
if you have no alternative, use the following guidelines:
• Use a cord rated for Standard Service (S).
• Do not use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.
• Ensure that the cord has a ground wire and pin.
• Use the gauge size listed below as a minimum.
