• This product should NEVER be used by any individual
suffering from any ailments that would limit or altogether
inhibit the user’s capacity to feel or have any sensation in
the body part that the product is being used for.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
the electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-ground-
ing 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.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt
as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not
fit the outlet, you may temporarily use an adaptor (such
as the one shown in Figure B) until you have a proper
outlet (such as the one shown in Figure C) installed by a
qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in Figure D if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet Figure C can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The tab for grounding screw Figure B
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw. See Figures D and E.
