When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
To prevent hazard of electrical shock,
this compactor must be properly installed and
grounded in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not operate with a damaged cord set,
plug, motor, or after damage in any manner.
Have the appliance examined, repaired, or
adjusted by an authorized service technician.
Do not take apart this appliance. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when
subsequently used.
Unplug the compactor before making any
repairs.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a qualified
person.
Do not use an adapter plug or an extension
cord with this appliance.
Follow National Electric Codes or prevailing
local codes and ordinances. This appliance
must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz and
connected to an individual, properly grounded
branch circuit protected by a 15 or 20 amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
If the electric supply provided does not meet
the above requirements, call a licensed
electrician.
We recommend that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third grounding prong from the
power cord.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance 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
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 if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug with this appliance. If
it will not fit the outlet installed, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
