Electrical Shock Hazard

Do Not use two wire cable with a bare grounding wire. All current- carrying wires must be insulated.

Failure to install the correct wiring could result in death or serious injury.

2. Strip 3-l /2 inches (8.9 cm) of )uter covering from end of cable. If rsing three-wire cable with groundin vire, cut the bare wire even with )uter covering. Strip 1 inch (2.5 cm) )f insulation from the end of each Isulated wire (see Figure 8).

5 . Loosen or remove terminal
block		screws.			Connect			the neutral
wire (white or center) of power
supply cable under the center
screw of the terminal block. Place
the hook-shaped						end of the wire

over the terminal block screw with open side of the hook facing to the right. Squeeze hook end of wire together to form a loop.

Connect the other two wires under the outer terminal block screws. Attach wires using the same method as the neutral wire (see Figure 12).

Tighten all terminal block screws firmly.

Where local codes DO NOT permit connecting the frame-grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire:
