GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ADAPTOR WITH THIS PRODUCT.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs
and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the product. Use only
extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking, "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store
indoors while not in use." Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine
extension cord before using and replace if damaged. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
