1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk
of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding inst ruct ions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded. Use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug.Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition
and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle
which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN
QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
POWER CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line
connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
