Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break

down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-

rent 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 con-

ductor can result 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 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 identical replace-

ment parts.
