GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Machine must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical current to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. This machine is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding connector and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not remove
ground pin; if missing, replace plug before use.
