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 appliance is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the appliance
−
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For grounded, cord-connected appliances rated less than 15 A and intended for use
on a nominal 120 V supply circuit:
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated below. 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 unit 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.
A qualified electrician should be consulted if there is any doubt as to whether an
outlet box is properly grounded.
