Grounding; Extension Cords - Grizzly H3118 Instruction Manual

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. This machine is equipped with a power cord
having an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
Reduce the risk of elec-
trocution by keeping all
connections dry and off
the ground. DO NOT
touch plugs with wet
hands. Failure to follow
these
result in serious injury.
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
