GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
DANGER - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
This product has a three-prong grounding plug, which must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary
do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded.
This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter 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 adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
plug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by the screw.
