appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock.
•
When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal.
