Grounding Instructions
This product must be electrically grounded. If a malfunction occurs, correct grounding decreases the risk of
electric shock. The power cord is equipped with an equipment-grounding conductor, and must be connected to
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
The electrical wiring must comply with all applicable local and provincial requirements.
Incorrect connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a licensed electrician if you are not sure that the machine is correctly
grounded. Bo not change the plug on the machine-if it does not fit the outlet, have a
correct outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
If you connect the machine to an outlet with GFI (ground fault interrupt) or AFI (arc fault interrupt), machine
operation can cause the circuit to trip.
If an extension cord or surge protector is used with this machine, make sure that it is a heavy duty model
rated at 15A operation, and accepts an equipment-grounding conductor. Bo not connect other appliances or
devices to the extension cord or surge protector in combination with this machine.
