THIS PRODUCT INTENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE
For clippers with a 2-prong plug: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For clippers with a 3-prong plug: This appliance should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat-blade terminal. The wire with insulation with an outer surface that is green (with or without yellow stripes) is the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician if you do not completely understand these grounding instructions, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug (Figure A). A temporary adapter (Figures B & C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (Figure B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or similar 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.
