PROPER GROUNDING

Grounding provides a path of least 
resistance for electric current to reduce the 
risk of electric shock.  
 
Make sure the cord is plugged into a 
properly installed and grounded power 
outlet. To prevent electrical hazards, have a 
qualified electrician ensure that the line is 
properly wired. 
 
Make sure that the appliance is connected 
to an outlet having the same configuration 
as the plug.  If an adaptor plug is used, it 
must be attached to the metal screw of the 
receptacle.

It is strongly recommended not to use 
extension cords with your CT171. Always 
try to position your machine close to the 
power source so that you do not need to 
use extension cords. 
 
In case if you really find it necessary to use 
an extension cord, make sure the extension 
cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and 
the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor 
damage. 

WARNING 

Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk 
of electric shock. Check with a qualified 
electrician if you are in doubt as to 
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
