qualified service personnel.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground-Fault
Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)*.
*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Grounding Instructions
WARNING: Risk of electric shock, fire, or personal injury. This product must be grounded and
connected only to a dedicated, nominal 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit protected by a minimum 15 A
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD).
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric 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 grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
