Grounding Instructions
IMPORTANT: Improper grounding method can result in a risk of electrical shock.
The machine must be grounded.
If it should malfunction, the grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine
contains a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. This plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet which is properly installed in accordance with all local code and ordinances.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine. If it will not fit the oulet , have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. If a repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necesasary, do not connect
the grounded wire to a flat bed terminal. The grounding wire is the wire with the insulation and an outer green
surface, with or without yellow stripes.
* This machine is for use on a 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug with a grounding pin which looks like
the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter (shown in Figure 2 below) can be used to connect
the plug to a 2-hole recepticle (Figure 2) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
* A temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, tab or the like extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent groundng such as a properly grounded oulet box cover. Whenever an adapter is used, it must
be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not permitted/approved for use in Canada.
* Replace the grounding plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
* Do not use extension cords.
NOTE:
In Canada,
the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
