Am starting to unplug my machines. Started with my HQ16 after a lighting strike across the street; then with my FW I also unplug as I had read about the foot could overheat.
When we bought the house we the curcit box changed out and added a surge protecte to the box, something I had read about and the electrician knew nothing about. Also I do use surge protector to plug into. Just replaced one in my studio.
