If 

there is a malfunction or breakdown, grounding in the electical circuit provides a 

path 

of 

least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk 

of 

electric shock. 

Check that 

the 

leads and wiring used 

with the motor and  switch wirin  have a 

grounding conductor and have a grounding 

lug.  The plug  must be p 

into a 

matching outlet that is properly installed an  grounded in accordance 

all local 

codes and ordinances. 
Have a  certified electrician check the electrical circuit and plugs if the grounding 
instructions are not completely understood 

or 

if 

doubt 

as 

to whether the machine 

or 

is properly  grounded. 

Improper connection 

of

the risk of 

an 

electric shock. The conductor 

insulation with an outer surface that is green,
