Grounding
WARNING
•
This slicer must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. This unit is
equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor 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.
•
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the

Grounded Slicers: Slicers with 3-Prong Plugs
Slicers 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 slicer 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 slicer. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the slicer’s
grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your slicer 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.
Double Insulated Slicers: Slicers with Two-Prong Plugs
Slicers marked

do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
(See Figure B.)
Double insulated slicers may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following
illustration.
