Grounding and Electrical Requirements
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper installation of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electrical
shock. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation, having an outer surface that is
green, with or without yellow stripes, is the ground-
ing wire.
This product shall be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock providing an escape wire for the
electrical current. This product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120–volt circuit
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated. Make sure that the product is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product.
WARNING
Improper installation or alteration of the grounding
plug will result in a risk of electric shock, fire or
explosion that could cause serious injury or death.
Extension Cords
Use only an extension cord with an undamaged,
3-prong plug.
For up to 25 ft (7.6 m) cord, use 3-wire, 12 AWG
(1.5 mm2) minimum.
For 25 to 50 ft (7.6 to 15.2 m) cords, use 3-wire,
10 AWG (2.5 mm2) minimum.
This equipment requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz, 15A
circuit with a grounding receptacle. See Fig. 2.
