to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the machine. If the plug 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 plug that looks like the plug in Figure A. Make sure the machine is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this machine.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. If the machine 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 the local codes and
ordinances.
