Grounding Instrucons
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfuncon or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connecon of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

not modify the plug provided with the machine. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a ground-
ed plug that looks like the plug illustrated in gure A. A temporary
adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in gures B and C may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in gure B
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only unl a properly grounded outlet (gure A) can be
installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a perma-
nent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
