GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance 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 and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified 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 appliance. If
it will not fit the outlet have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 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 qualified 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 Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords
more than 50 feet (15 m) long. PLEASE NOTE: FOR NORTH AMERICA ONLY
INSTRUCTIONS VISANT LA MISE LA TERRE
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de défaillance ou de panne éventuelles la mise a la terre fournit au courant un chemin de moindre résistance
qui réduit le risque de choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur de terre et d’une fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche
doit être branchée dans une prise appropriee correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux règlements et ordonnances municipaux.
AVERTISSEMENT !
Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique. Consulter un électricien ou un technicien d’entretien
qualifié si vous n’êtes pas certain que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie avec l’appareil - si elle
ne peut être insérée dans la prise faire installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié.
Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120 V et est muni d’une fiche de terre semblable à celle illustrée par le croquis 1. Un adaptateur temporaire
semblable à celui illustré par le croquis 2 et C peut être utilisé pour brancher cette fiche à une prise bipolaire comme l’illustre le croquis 2 si une prise
avec mise à la terre n’est pas disponible. L’adaptateur temporaire devrait etre utilisé seulement jusqu’à ce qu’une prise avec mise à la terre soit installée
par un électricien qualifié. L’oreille rigide ou le crochet ou autre dispositif semblable de couleur verte prolongeant l’adaptateur doit Iêtre raccordé
à un élément correctement mis à la terre comme le couvercle d’une boîte de sortie mise à la terre. L’adaptateur doit être fixé par une vis métallique.
Note: Au Canada I’utilisation d’un adaptateur temporaire n’est pas autorisée par le Code canadien de l’électricité.
Remplacez la prise si la prise de terre est abîmée ou cassée.
Le fil Vert (ou Vert/Jaune) dans la ganse est le fil de terre. Lors du remplacement d´une prise ce fil doit être raccordé à la prise de terre uniquement.
Les ralonges connectées à cette machine doivent avoir 12 mesures trois ganses de fil ayant trois fiches masculines féminines tree-prong plugs
and outlets. N´UTILISEZ PAS de ralonge de plus de 15 m (50 pieds) de long.
