Grounding Instructions
nWarning
The machine must be grounded in accordance with
national and local electrical codes.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, 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
a 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.
nWarning
When using electric appliances, basic precautions must
always be followed, including the following:
A. Read all the instructions before using the
appliance.
B. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision
is necessary when an appliance is used near
children.
C. Do not contact moving parts.
D. Only use attachments recommended or sold by
the manufacturer.
E. Do not use outdoors.
F. For a cord-connected appliance, the following
must be included:
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Contact the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
G. Follow applicable lock out tag out procedures
before working on equipment.
H. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See
Grounding Instructions.
