This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric current to reduce 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.

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.

THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt AC circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks

like the plug illustrated in (Fig. 1A). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated

in (Fig. 1B) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig. 1B) if a

properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (Fig. 1A) 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.
