Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment‐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 fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment‐grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment‐grounding conductor.
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 qualified electrician
or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Use only 3‐wire extension cords that have 3‐prong grounding plugs and 3‐pole
receptacles that accept the productʹs plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
