GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This piece of equipment must be grounded. Should an
electrical malfunction occur, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical current- reducing the risk
of electric shock. This piece of equipment is furnished
with a cord that has a grounding conductor and ground-
ing plug. The grounded plug must only be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING:
Connecting the equipment to an improperly grounded
outlet can result in an increased risk of electric shock. A
qualified electrician should be consulted if you are un-
sure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
Fig. 1
electrician.
This appliance is designed for use on a 120-volt circuit.
The grounding plug provided looks like the plug illus-
trated in Figure 1.
A temporary adapter such as the one illustrated in
Figure 2 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle (see Figure 2), if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. Temporary grounding adapters should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet (see
Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, tab, or similar, extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
an adapter is being used, it must be secured by a metal
screw. These temporary grounding adapters are not
approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or
broken.
Fig. 2
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the
grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must
be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be
12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and
outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 25 feet
(7.6 m) long.
