Grounding Instructions - Craftsman 113.177135 Owner's Manual

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
rounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance 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
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper
connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug shown. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor shown
may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle, as shown. If a properly
grounded outlet is not available, the
temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug or the like
extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
