120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and 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 electric shock. Check with a qualifi ed elec-
trician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance. If it will not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary
adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualifi ed electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the adapter 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. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords
more than 50 feet (15 m) long.
WARNING!
• If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.
• Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
PLEASE NOTE: FOR NORTH AMERICA ONLY
