GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
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-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in following figure. A temporary
adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketch B and C may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a
properly grounded outlet in 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.
