GROUNDING
This product must 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 an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock.
• When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, 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 when the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
• Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
• This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug
illustrated in the figure below.
• Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
•
Do not use an adapter with this product.
Extension Cords:
• Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that
accepts the plug on the product.
• Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. If an extension cord is necessary, use 12 AWG
(2.5 mm
2
) minimum to carry the current that the product draws.
• An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.
