Grounding Instructions
Electric models must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER — Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation
having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding
pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you
are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is rated more than 15 amperes and is for use on
a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts, or the product is
for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120
volts, and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and
plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used
with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use
on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should
be made by qualified service personnel.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
For lengths less than 50 feet, No. 12 AWG extension cords
should be used. If an extension cord is to be used
outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the
cord type designation. For example, a designation of
SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be appropriate
for outdoor use.
