HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
USE A SURGE SUPPRESSOR
Your machine, like other electronic
equipment, can be damaged by sudden
voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise
interference can result from weather
conditions or from other appliances being
turned on or off. To decrease the risk of
damaging the machine, always use a surge
suppressor with the machine.
Use only a surge suppressor that is UL 1449
listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor
(TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts
or less and a minimum surge dissipation of
450 joules. The surge suppressor must also
be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15
amps. There must be a monitoring light on
the surge suppressor to indicate whether
it is functioning properly. Failure to use
a properly functioning surge suppressor
could result in damage to the control
system of the machine and serious injury
to users.
PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
The machine must be grounded. If
it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. The machine power
cord has a plug with a grounding pin (see
drawing 1 on this page).
Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The outlet must
be on a nominal 120-volt circuit capable
of carrying 15 or more amps. To avoid
overloading the circuit, do not plug other
electrical devices, except for low-power
devices such as cell phone chargers,
into the surge suppressor or into an
outlet on the same circuit. IMPORTANT:
The machine is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be
compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect
the surge
suppressor
to a 2-pole
receptacle
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter
must be connected with a metal screw to
a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet fox cover. Some 2-pole
receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter,
contact a qualified electrician to
determine whether the outlet box cover is
grounded. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician.
