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, authorized electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
This product is factory equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a
proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Do not modify the plug
provided — if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If
the product must be reconnected for use on a di
ff
erent type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualified service personnel.
Extension Cords:
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a
three-blade grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
Replace or repair a damaged cord.
