A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation and install any supplied receptacle (reference unit Data Plate for model specific Volts AC, Hertz, and Wattage requirements).

Before You Plug In Machine
1. Make sure all machine switches are OFF before plugging equipment into receptacle.
2. Make sure wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power supply cord.
3. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
