IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electrical current.
This grinder has an electrical cord with an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded according
to all local or other appropriate electrical codes and ordinances.
Before plugging in the Grinder, make sure it will be connected to a supply circuit protected by a
properly-sized circuit breaker or fuse.
Never modify the plug provided with the machine--if it won't fit the outlet, have a proper outlet and
circuit installed by a qualified electrician.
ALWAYS PROVIDE A PROPER ELECTRICAL GROUND FOR YOUR
MACHINE. AN IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE PROPER
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING PROCEDURE, CONTACT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
