GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Grounded
Outlet Box
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or breakdown, 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 ground-
ing plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. 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 pro-
vided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and
has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure that the product is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No adaptor should be used with this product.
For maximum protection against electric shock, use a
circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the
cord is the ground wire. Never connect this wire to any
terminal other than the ground terminal.
WARNING:
To prevent possible electric shock,
protect the machine from rain. Keep
the machine in a dry building.
WARNING:
To prevent possible electric shock,
always use a 3-wire electrical sys-
tem connected to the electrical
ground. For maximum protection
against electrical shock, use a cir-
cuit that is protected by a ground
fault circuit interrupter. Consult your
electrical contractor.
WARNING:
Do not cut, remove or break the
ground pin. If the outlet does not fit
the plug, consult your electrical con-
tractor.
WARNING:
Have worn, cut, or damaged cords
and plugs replaced by an authorized
service person.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only an approved extension cord with three conduc-
tors, a plug with three terminals, and a connector body
with three holes. The machine has a power cord with wire
size 14 AWG (AWG means American Wire Gauge).
WARNING:
If you use an extension cord, use an
extension cord with minimum wire
size 14 AWG. Do not use an exten-
sion cord longer than 50 feet. Do not
join two extension cords.
