GrOunDinG inStructiOnS
1. This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. 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 all local codes and ordinances.
2. DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
3. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V
circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in Figure A.
Figure a: 3-prong plug
4. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the
adaptor illustrated in Figures B and C, may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
Figure B: Grounding adapter
5. The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it
must be held in place by the metal screw.

6. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot
grounded receptacle is available.
7. A qualified electrician should be consulted
if there is any doubt as to whether an
outlet box is properly grounded.
8. A qualified electrician should be consulted
if there is any doubt as to whether an
outlet box is properly grounded.
Ground Fault circuit interrupter (GFci)
The appliance is equipped with a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI), which reduces the risk of
electric shock. Check that the receptacle is properly
grounded and test the GFCI before each use.
1. Plug the GFCI Power Plug into a
grounded, 120 VAC electrical outlet.
2. Press the TEST button. The GFCI
indicator light should go out and power
to the appliance should cut off.
WarninG! if the light does not go out when
tESt button is pushed, do not use the
appliance until it is properly repaired.
3. To restore power after TEST,
push the RESET button.
WarninG! if the appliance doesn’t start,
stops while running, or if you experience
an electric shock, disconnect the power cord
and do not use the appliance. Have it repaired
by a qualified electrician or replace it.
note:
The Power Cord is not GFCI-protected from
the GFCI to the 3-prong plug in the electrical outlet.
