Grounding Instructions

• This product 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 product
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a 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.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product -
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter
illustrated in sketches B and C in Figure 2, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch 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.
