Extension Cords; Functional Description - Delta 50-850 Manual De Instrucciones

3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION
The motor supplied with your machine is a dual
voltage, 120/240 volt motor. It is shipped ready-
to-run for 120 volt operation. However, it can be
converted for 240 volt operation.
A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or
the machine can be taken to an Authorized Delta
Service Center. When completed, the machine must
conform to the National Electric Code and all local
codes and ordinances.
The machine is typically converted by re-wiring the
motor for 240 volts, installing a 240 volt plug on the
power supply cord and replacing the switch with one
that is rated for 240 volt operation.
Be sure the 240 volt plug is only used in an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug illustrated
in Fig. C. No adapter should be used with the 240
volt plug.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord
which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine's plug. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows the correct gauge to use depending on
the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
