All Electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrical and follow any local codes
and ordinances. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Electrical connections that are improperly installed or are outside operational specifications may cause machine
damage and void any warranties that are in place.
This machine is rated for 220V +/-10% having an operational range of 200-240V.
The machines come pre-wired with a
NEMA 6-20 plug for use on a circuit with a
grounded outlet as pictured. It is recommended that these machines be connected
to a dedicated 15-amp circuit.
If the machine must be reconnected for use with a different type of electric circuit,
the connection must be done by qualified person(s) and must comply with all local
codes and ordinances.
Grounding Instructions:
Axiom CNC machines must be grounded. This grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current,
which during a malfunction will reduce the risk of electrical shock.
All Axiom machines are equipped with an electrical cord with grounding conductor and plug. The plug must be used
with a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
These plugs must not be modified, if a matching outlet is need, one must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper installation may result in electrical shock.
If grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the
machine is properly grounded, a qualified electrician should be consulted.
Extension Cords:
The use of extension cords should be discouraged. It is recommended to place the machines as near to the power
source as possible.
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure any cord used is in good conditions. Worn or damaged cords should be
replaced immediately.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the required current and use only 3-
wire extension cords that feature the correct 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles.
An undersized cord will cause a drop-in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and runs the risk of
fire.
It is recommended that if an extension cord must be used, it be a 10-12 gauge grounded-three wire cord of no more
than 8-10 feet.
