WARNING
6. GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
VOLTAGE
WARNING
1. Before connecting the machine to a power source (receptacle, outlet…
etc.) Know your incoming voltage supply. (220, 208 etc.)
2. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the machine
can result in serous injury to the user, and machine damage.
3. Using a power source with voltage less than that of the machines rating
can damage the motor and other components.
4. If you are unsure of the voltage rating do not use the machine.
CAUTION
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTION
1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment
grounding conductor. The proper plug must be used with a matching
outlet that it is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
2. For 120 volt models do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with yellow stripes is equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as whether the
machine is properly grounded.
5. It is not recommended to use an extension cord on this machine. If one
must be used, use only a grounded cord of proper size for machine and
length of run needed.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
