This machine operates on a standard, 15AMP,115 volt AC circuit and has a grounded
plug.* Make sure the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. No ungrounded adapter should be used with this machine.
*Special voltage models available.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk electric shock.
This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment -grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter
illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a qualified electrician can install a properly grounded outlet
(sketch A). The green-colored rigid car, lug, 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.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
