KEY FEATURES AND COMPONENTS
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. Figure D 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.

3. 120 Volt Single-Phase Operation
The motor supplied with your machine is a dual voltage, 120/230 volt motor. It is shipped ready-to-run for 230 volt
operation. However, it can be converted for 120 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 converted by re-wiring the motor for 120 volts, installing a 120 volt plug on the power supply cord and
replacing the switch with one that is rated for 120 volt operation. Be sure the 120 volt plug is only used in an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug illustrated in Figure A. or B. No adapter should be used with the 230 volt plug.
In all cases, make certain that the
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you
are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
