GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should 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 a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
DANGER
-improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, 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 if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a three-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Replace or repair a
damaged cord.
