INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTION

TO THE POWER  SUPPLY

AND THE ELECTRICAL GROUND

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.  This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-ground-
ing 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 prop-
erly grounded.  Do not modify the plug
provided with the product - if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled 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 in
Fig. 15.  Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug.  No adaptor should
be used with this product.

This machine is intended for commerical use.

For maximum protection against electric shock, use a circuit
that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.  The
green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
ground wire.  Never connect this wire to any terminal other
than the ground terminal.

WARNING:

To prevent possible electric shock, pro-
tect the machine from rain.  Keep the
machine in a dry building.

WARNING:

To prevent possible electric shock, al-
ways use a 3-wire electrical system con-
nected to the electrical ground.  For maxi-
mum protection against electrical shock,
use a circuit that is protected by a ground
fault circuit interrupter.  Consult your
electrical contractor.

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 and
plugs 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 14 AWG (AWG
means American Wire Gauge).

Figure 15

WARNING:

If you use an extension cord,
use an extension cord with
minimum wire size 14 AWG.
Do not use an extension cord
longer than 50 feet.  Do not
join two extension cords.
