SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER - IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
This product has a three-prong grounding plug, which must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and rounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, 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 service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter,
which looks like he adapter illustrated in sketches Band 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 properly grounded outlet
(sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear, 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 place by the screw.
