GROUNDING INSTUCTIONS-120V
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE
ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a one 15
amp nominal 120V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The
amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label
found on each machine. Using voltages above or
below those indicated on the data label will cause
serious damage to the motors.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance 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 appliance 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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the
plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that looks
like the adaptor in “Fig . C” may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in “Fig. B”, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can
be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from
the adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a 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
appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
