Grounding
The chassis of this product is grounded through the
power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord
into a properly wired receptacle before making any con-

A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding

tion. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your
safety. When the provided plug does not fit your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
Danger from loss of ground
If the protective ground connection is lost, all accessible
conductive parts, including knobs and controls that may
appear to be insulated, can render an electric shock.
Proper power cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for the
product and your operating locale. Use only a cord that
is in good condition. Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched, particularly at the plug, conve-
nience receptacle, and the point where the cord exits from
the apparatus.
