GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of 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-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the cord from the
quilting machine into a surge protector. The surge protector must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product 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 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A in Figure 61.1. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in
sketches B and 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 adaptor should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the
like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
