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 ground-
ed 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 perma-
nent 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 12/3 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.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical
replacement parts.
NOTE:
Do not use adapters shown in
figures B & C in Canada
