grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not t the outlet;

• Improper connections of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor
that has an outer surface that is green, with or without
yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal
• Check with a quali ed electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
