GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, of grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk 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 appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
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. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B
and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a qualified
electrician can install a properly grounded outlet (sketch A). The green-colored rigid car, 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 a metal
screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
