PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CX800 is equipped with a 220-V single
phase motor and is provided with a power
supply cord that is to be connected directly
to the source. Connection must be done by
a qualified electrician in accordance with
electrical code and local electrical codes.
This machine is for use on a normal 220
volt circuit. Make sure that the machine is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. If an adaptor
plug is used, it must be attached to the
metal screw of the receptacle.
To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.

It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX800. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
When it is necessary to use an extension
cord, make sure the extension cord does
not exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is
12-gauge to prevent motor damage.
Your CX800 should be wired with a plug
having 3-prongs to fit a 3 prong grounded
receptacle as shown in figure-3.
Do not remove the grounding prong to fit it
into a 2-pronged outlet. Always check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
