GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for the electric current in order 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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTROCUTION due to
improper connection of ground.
DANGER
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 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 below 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, grounding clip 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.
Check the nameplate on the machine to be sure the voltage and cycle stated on the nameplate are the
same as the voltage and cycle of the electrical outlet that you’re using. DO NOT attempt to plug a
115 volt machine into a 230 volt outlet.
Figure C. A machine that uses 230 volts may or may not have the grounding (earthed) plug attached to
the cord. For use within the U.S.A. - 230 volts, 60 HZ , the plug is already supplied the with cord. For
use outside the U.S.A., it may be up to the purchaser to have a proper grounding (earthed) plug at-
tached.
Always use a properly grounded 3-wire extension cord which has male and female plugs. Use only
12-3 SJTWA type extension cords to a maximum length of 50 feet.
