will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive

grounded and rated for the amperage given below. Never
replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amperage
without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure com-

The unpainted parts and gears of your machine
are coated with a waxy grease that protects
them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this
grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based
degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents
such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you
happen to splash some onto a painted surface,
you will ruin the finish.
