WARNINGS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a 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 serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a grounded, cord-connected product rated less than 15 A and intended for
use on a nominal 120-V supply circuit, the instructions in either (1) or (2):
1) This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 86.1. 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 properly grounded outlet
(sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored 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 a metal screw.
2) This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 86.1. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.
