SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to re-
duce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can re-
sult in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A
temporary adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to con-
nect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the adapt-
er must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved
for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire.
When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding
pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge,
three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets.
DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 meter) long.
