This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all
local code and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin; if missing, replace plug before
use.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the machine. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated
in Figures 2 and 3 may be used~to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be
installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, tab or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or GreenYellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing
a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
DO NOT use extension cords.
