 CLIPPER 86038240 2-
 
ELECTRICAL: 
In the USA, this machine operates on a standard 15 
amp 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit. The amp, 
hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label found 
on each machine. Using voltages above or below 
those indicated on the data label will cause serious 
damage to the motors. 
 
EXTENSION CORDS: 
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at 
least one size larger than the power cord on the 
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in 
length. 
 
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: 
This appliance must be grounded. If it should 
malfunction or break down, 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 
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly 
installed and grounded in accordance with all local 
codes and ordinances. 
 
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt 
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the 
plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that looks like 
the adaptor in “Fig. C” may be used to connect this 
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”, if a 
properly grounded outlet is not available. The 
temporary adaptor should be used only until a 
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by 
a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, 
lug, or wire extending from the adaptor must be 
connected to a permanent ground such as a 
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the 
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal 
screw. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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. 
 
 
Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de 
terre d'équipement peut entraîner des risques 
d'électrocution. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien 
qualifié ou d'un responsable de l'entretien si 
vous avez quelque doute que ce soit quant au 
raccordement à la terre de votre prise murale. Ne 
modifiez pas la fiche fournie avec l'appareil : si 
elle ne correspond pas à la prise murale, faites 
installer une prise adéquate par un électricien 
qualifié. Utilisez-le uniquement sur des 
réceptacles protégés GFCI.
