GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, 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-ground-
ing conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualifi 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 a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole recepta-
cle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or 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 a metal screw.
Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached
to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets.
DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 meter) long.
