POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This product is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120
volt, 60Hz, single-phase alternating current (AC) power source
fused with a 20 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is
recommended that a qualified electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLT-
AGE at the receptacle into which the product will be plugged and
confirm that the receptacle is properly fused and grounded.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT if the ACTUAL power
source voltage is less than 105 volts AC or greater than 132 volts
AC. Contact a qualified electrician if this problem exists. Improper
performance and/or damage to the product will result if operated
on inadequate or excessive power.
CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE
Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of receptacle
at the power source.
This product must be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not cut off
the grounding prong or alter the plug in any way and do not use
any adapters between the product’s power cord and the power
source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then
connect the power cord to a properly grounded 120V, 60Hz, single
phase, 20 amp power source.
EXTENSION CORDS
For optimum performance, an extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, care must be taken in
selecting an extension cord appropriate for use with your specific
product. Select a properly grounded extension cord that will mate
directly with the power source receptacle and the power cord
without the use of adapters. Make certain that the extension is
properly wired and in good electrical condition. Extension cords
must be a minimum # 12 gauge cord. Do not use an extension cord
over 25 ft. (7.6m) in length.
