120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER!
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 machine. 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 Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear or tab 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. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire
must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs
and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 m) long.
