GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether your machine outlets are properly ground-
ed.

electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current. This machine is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor for a 3 prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in the accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not
modify the plug provided with the machine.

tive ground, have a qualified electrician or your local electrical utility company check the ground and correct any
problems.
