THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL 
USE ONLY. 
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: 
A suitable extension cord is provided with this 
appliance. The safe operation of the 
appliance is dependent on the use of a 
suitable extension cord. If a cord other than 
the one provided is used, it must be type SJT, 
at least 16 gauge, and limited to no more than 
50 feet 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 the like 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.
