We do not recommend using an extension cord with your
machine. If you have no other choice, use the following
guidelines:
• Use cords rated for Standard Service
• Never exceed a length of 50 feet
• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin
• Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding
This machine must be grounded! Verify that any exist-
ing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into
is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to
run a separate copper grounding wire, of the appropri-
ate size, from the outlet to a known ground. Under no
circumstances should you connect your machine to an
ungrounded power source or electrocution or severe
shock could occur.
220V Operation
The Model W1677/W1711 is prewired for 220V operation.
Always connect this machine to a dedicated circuit with a
verified ground, using the recommended circuit size and
power connection method stated below.
Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amper-
age without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about
the wiring codes in your area or plan to connect your
machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire haz-
ard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.
Electrocution or severe shock could
occur if machine is not grounded.

may result in a fire. Get help from an
electrician if your circuit is too small
for the machine.
