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-ground-
ing 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 ordi-
nances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor 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 adap-
tor (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
receptacle 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 qualified 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.
