1.1 Grounding / Double insulation instructions

Grounding instructions
Applicable to machines with a three pin plug.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or breakdown, grounding 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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all lo-
cal codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with quali-
fi ed 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 fi t the outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed technician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure A.
A temporary adaptor which looks like the adaptor illus-
trated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a
two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can
be installed by a qualifi ed 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! This temporary adaptor is not permitted in
Canada.

Servicing of double-insulated appliances
Applicable to machines with a two-pin plug
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should
a mean for grounding be added to the appliance. Servic-
ing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be done only
by qualifi ed service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
A double insulated appliance is marked with the words
"DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED."
The symbol (square within a square)
may also be used on the product.
