Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electri-
cian or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like
extending from the adapter 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.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 16/3 or larger gauge approved extension
cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the appliance's plug. Replace or repair any
damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identi-
cal replacement parts.
