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, have
a proper outlet 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 green-colored tab 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.
