GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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 machine 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.
