Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for the 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. The plug 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 con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are 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, you may temporarily use an adapter (such
as the one shown in Figure B) until you have a proper
outlet (such as the one shown in Figure C) installed by a
qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure
A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in Figure D if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet Figure C can be installed by a quali-
fied electrician. The tab for grounding screw Figure B 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 a metal screw. See
Figures D and E.
