WARNING
GROUNDING
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with an appropriate grounding electrical inlet. This product must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and regulations.
•
Improper installation of the grounding electrical inlet is able to result in a risk of electric
shock.
•
When repair or replacement of the electrical inlet is required, do not connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal.
•
The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the grounding wire.
•
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
•
Do not modify the electrical inlet. Only connect the product to an extension cord having the
same configuration as the electrical inlet.
•
This product is for use on a nominal 120V or 230V circuit and has a grounding electrical
inlet as illustrated in the figure below.
•
Do not use a 3-to-2 adapter with this product.
•
Extension Cords:
•
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a grounding plug and a grounding receptacle that
mates with the electrical inlet on the product.
•
Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. Use 12 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) minimum to carry
the current that the product draws.
•
An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.
