Follow these steps to install either a single-hole ground lug or a dual-hole ground lug on the switch.
Make sure that you follow grounding requirements, if any, at your site.

Use the ground lug screw and the lug ring for a single-hole ground connection. Use the dual-hole lug for
a ground connection in an NEBS installation.

Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the connector. Use
12-gauge copper ground wire for the single-hole ground connection. Use 8-gauge copper ground wire
for the dual-hole ground connection.
