Power Supply 
Requirements
Availability
The full-load current rating is the amperage 
a machine draws at 100% of the rated output 
power. On machines with multiple motors, this is 
the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum 
of all motors and electrical devices that might 
operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating
Full-Load Rating .................................. 10 Amps
For your own safety and protection of property, 
consult an electrician if you are unsure about 
wiring practices or applicable electrical codes.
Serious injury could occur if you connect 
the machine to power before completing the 
setup process. DO NOT connect to power until 
instructed later in this manual.
Before installing the machine, consider the 
availability and proximity of the required power 
supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet 
the requirements for this machine, a new circuit 
must be installed.
To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, 
or equipment damage, installation work and 
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician 
or qualified service personnel in accordance with 
all applicable codes.
The full-load current is not the maximum 
amount of amps that the machine will draw. If 
the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional
amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient 
length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may 
result—especially if connected to an undersized 
circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, 
avoid overloading the machine during operation 
and make sure it is connected to a power supply 
circuit that meets the requirements in the 
following section.
Circuit Requirements
Note: The circuit requirements in this manual 
are for a dedicated circuit—where only one 
machine will be running at a time. If this 
machine will be connected to a shared circuit 
where multiple machines will be running at 
the same time, consult a qualified electrician to 
ensure the circuit is properly sized.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical 
equipment between the main breaker box or fuse 
panel in your building and the incoming power 
connections inside the machine. This circuit 
must be safely sized to handle the full-load 
current that may be drawn from the machine for 
an extended period of time. (If this machine is 
connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a 
time delay fuse marked D.)
Nominal Voltage ............................... 110V/120V
Cycle .............................................................60  Hz
Phase ..............................................Single-Phase
Circuit Rating....................................... 15 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ...............................NEMA 5-15
This machine is prewired to operate on a 110V 
power supply circuit that has a verified ground 
and meets the following requirements:
