Grounding
WARNING
• This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. This
unit is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
• CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the slicer is properly grounded.
Grounded Slicers: Slicers with 3-Prong Plugs
Slicers marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must
be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the slicer should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of
electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the slicer. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the slicer’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your slicer must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration.
Double Insulated Slicers: Slicers with Two-Prong Plugs
Slicers marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system
which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
Double insulated slicers may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration.

Extension Cords
WARNING
• USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of
power and cause overheating.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
• Grounded slicers require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated slicers can use either a 2- or 3-
wire extension cord.
• As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible slicer damage.
• The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is
shown in the following table:

NOT RECOMMENDED
• When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains
at least the minimum wire size required.
• If you are using one extension cord for more than one slicer, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
• Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
