Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be 
protected with a time delay fuse. 

NOTE:

 Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US. If an extension 

cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will 
accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the powerline, make sure the switch is(are) in the“OFF”position
and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should 
make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 240 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure 
the switch is in the “OFF” position. 

Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
