Host M40000, Manual, Page: 3 / 32

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in Diagram A . A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
Diagram B may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Diagram C if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like extending from the adapter as illustrated in Diagram B , must be connected to a
permanent ground outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw as shown in Diagram C .
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
