Grounding Instructions
120 Volt Machines
This product must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electrical shock. The machine is
provided with a three-conductor cord and a three contact
grounding attachment plug to the fit the proper grounding
type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow)
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. NEVER
connect this wire to other than the grounding pin of the
attachment plug. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This
product 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
product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like
the plug illustrated as (A) in the sketch. Make sure that
the machine is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used
with this product.
WARNING:
To prevent possible electric shock, protect
the machine from rain. Keep the machine in a dry
building.
WARNING:
To prevent possible electric shock, always
use a 3-wire electrical system connected to the electrical
ground.
WARNING:
DO NOT
cut, remove or break the ground
pin. If the outlet does not fit the plug, consult your
electrical contractor.
WARNING:
Have worn, cut or damaged cords replaced
by an authorized service person.
Extension Cords
Use only an approved extension cord with three
conductors, a plug with three terminals, and a connector
body with three holes. The machine has a power cord
with wire size 12 AWG (AWG means American Wire
Gauge).
WARNING:
If you use an extension cord, use an
extension cord with minimum wire size 12 AWG.
DO
NOT
use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.
DO NOT
