GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
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 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 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 figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
figures B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear, lug, or the like 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.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code
EXTENSION CORDS:
Use only three-wire 16/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have three-prong
grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or
repair any damaged cords or plugs.
