Grounding Instructions
(for a 120V AC system )
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor 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,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If you connect the machine to an outlet with GFI (ground fault interrupt) or AFI (arc fault interrupt), machine operation can
cause the circuit to trip. This machine is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The tab for the grounding screw 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.

Earthing Instructions
(for a 220-240V AC system )
This product must be electrically earthed. If a malfunction occurs, correct earthing decreases the risk of electric shock.
The power cord is equipped with an equipment-earthing conductor, and must be connected to an outlet that is properly
installed and earthed.
The electrical wiring must comply with all applicable local and provincial standards and
requirements. Incorrect connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a licensed electrician if you are not sure that the machine is correctly
earthed. Do not change the plug on the machine – if it does not fit the outlet, have a correct outlet
installed by a licensed electrician.
If you connect the machine to an outlet with RCBO (Residual-Current circuit Breaker with Overload protection), machine
operation can cause the circuit to trip. A Surge Protector Device is recommended to protect the machine.
!
If a Surge Protector Device (SPD) is used with this machine, be sure that it matches the power rating of this
equipment (220-240V AC). Do not connect other appliances or devices to the surge protector in combination
with this machine.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Use the
appropriate adapter supplied with this product.
