Figure1 <Grounding Plugs>
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short-circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of low resistance for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in compliance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the product 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.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not conect the grounding wire to either
flat blade terminal.The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
This appliance is for use on a nominal, 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A of Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated
in sketches B and C of Figure 1, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in
sketch B of Figure 1 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet(sketch A of Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green 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 the screw.
This appliance is for used on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120-volt and is factry equipped with
a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the
appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used
with this appliance. Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. If the appliance must be reconectted for use on a different type
of electric circuit, the reconection should be made by qualified service personnel.
If it necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord that has a three-blade
grounding and three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. Replace or repair a
damaged cord.
For a grounded cord-connected appliance rated less than 15 amperes and intended for use on a nominal
120-volt supply circuit:
