SAFETY SUMMARY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A. 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
electrical 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
electrical 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 doubt exists
as to whether the product is properly grounded.
B. This product is for use on a normal 120 V circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch
A shown at the bottom of the page. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and
C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole outlet as
shown in sketch C if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet (sketch D) 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 properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by the screw.
