Proper Machine Environment

Temperature and Humidity-Controlled Environment

Set up/store your machine in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment to prevent 
long-term corrosion and to protect the electronics.  Don’t keep your machine anywhere you 
wouldn’t keep a laptop or desktop computer ! 

Clean, Protected Electrical Power

grounded outlets: 

Your machine uses standard 110v household 

current.  Be sure you connect it to a grounded 3-prong outlet like 
the one shown here.  This is standard in most homes and 
businesses today, but some older buildings may only have 2-
prong outlets.  

Steady Table / Mounting Surface

Your machine will perform better (especially at higher speeds) 
when operated on a strong, level and steady mounting surface.  
Although on wheels, the optional stand provides plenty of 
stability, and even more when the wheels are rotated to their 
outermost positions and the brakes are applied at all 4 corners.

surge protection:

Protect your machine against occasional power 

spikes (from electrical storms or electrical wiring problems) with at 
least a basic surge protector.  The electronics on your machine 
can be very expensive to replace.  Higher-end surge protectors 
and UPS units are able to protect against higher energy strikes, 
and often come with a guarantee.
