Grounding
Proper grounding protects the equipment operator from the risk of electric
shock. The electrical cord provided with this equipment has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Observe the following guidelines
at all times:
- Always connect the plug to a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
- If an extension cord is necessary, make sure it has three prongs and is
compatible with the electrical cord provided with the equipment.
- Do not modify the electrical cord provided with the equipment. If it is not
compatible with any available outlets, have a compatible outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
- If the equipment-grounding conductor (solid green or green and yellow)
is improperly connected, the operator will be at risk of electrical shock.
Never connect it to a live terminal.
- Local codes may require a Ground Fault Interrupt Circuit (GFIC).
- Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
- When in doubt, consult a qualied electrician
