This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
DANGER - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figure B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by the screw.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that
has a three-blade grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the product. Replace or repair a damaged cord.
