GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

120 VOLT MACHINES

Instructions for connection to the power supply and 

the electrical ground.

This product 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 electrical shock.  This product is 
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor 
and grounding plug.  The plug must be inserted into an appropri-
ate oulet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance 
with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:  Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.  
Check with a quali

fi

 ed 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 product - if it will not 

fi

 t 

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quali

fi

 ed 

electrician. 

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a 
grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in 
Fig. 4.  Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having 
the same con

fi

 guration as the plug.  No adaptor should be used 

with this product.

WARNING:  To prevent possible electric shock, 

protect the machine from rain.  Keep the  machine in a dry 
building.  

 WARNING:  To prevent possible electric  shock, 

always use a 3-wire electrical system connected to the elec-
trical ground.  For maximum protection against  electrical 
shock, use  a  circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit 
interrupter.  Consult your electrical contractor.

 WARNING:  Do not cut, remove or break the ground 

pin.  If the outlet does not 

fi

 t the plug, consult your electrical 

contractor.

 WARNING:  Have worn, cut or damaged cords re-

placed by an authorized service person.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only an approved extension cord with three conductors, a plug 
with three terminals, and a connector body with three holes.  The 
machine has a power cord with wire size 14 AWG (AWG means 
American Wire Gauge).

WARNING:  If you use an extension cord, use an 

extension cord with minimum wire size 12 AWG.  Do not use an 
extension cord longer than 50 feet.  Do not join two extension 
cords.
