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.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician,
