Grounding Instructions

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE
ONLY.

Electrical:

In the USA  this machine operates on a standard 15 
amp 115V, 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. 

Extension Cords:

If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at 
least one size larger than the power cord on the 
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in 
length.

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. Use only GFCI protected 
receptacles.

Une connexion non conforme du conducteur de 
mise à la terre de l’appareil peut provoquer une 
dé charge électrique. Consulter un électricien 
qualifié ou une personne du service aprés vente 
si vous suspectez que la prise de courant n’est 
pas correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier 
la fiche fournie avec l’appareil - si elle ne rentre 
pas dans la prise, faites installer une prise appr-
ropriée par un électricien qualifié. Utilisez-le 
uniquement sur des réceptacles protégés GFCI.
