and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
•
DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Slicers: Slicers with 3-Prong Plugs
Grinders and foot pedals marked with
Grounding Required
have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the grinder and foot
pedal should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the grinder and foot pedal. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to
the grinder’s and foot pedal’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically live
terminal.
Your grinder and foot pedal must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in
the following illustration.
