115 VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, 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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 115 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
(B, Fig. 1). A temporary adapter (B and C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (B), if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are
not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must
be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 16 gauge minimum, three-wire cords with three-
prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 ft (15 m) long.
