GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation:

The following are instructions for connection to the power supply and the electrical ground.

This machine must be connected to the electrical ground to protect the operator from electrical shock. The machine has an approved power cord with three conductors and a plug with three terminals. Connect the plug to a receptacle that has three holes and is connected to the electrical ground. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the ground wire. Never connect this wire to any terminal other than the ground pin terminal.

DANGER: Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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 machine is for use on a 110 to 120 Volt AC 60 cycle electric circuit. Make sure you have the correct frequency and voltage before connecting the power cord to an outlet. The machine has a plug as shown in figure A.

WARNING: Always use this machine with an AC three-conductor electrical system connected to the electrical ground. Replace any worn, cut or damaged cords. Replace any damaged plugs, receptacles or connector bodies.

WARNING: Do not cut, remove, or break the ground terminal. Do not try to fit a three-terminal plug into a receptacle or connector body that does not fit the plug, see your Authorized Clarke Dealer to get an authorized person to make the connection.

WARNING: Do not move the machine over an electrical cord. Always lift the cord over the machine.

EXTENSION CORDS:

Use only an approved extension cord with three conductors, a plug with three terminals and a connector body with three holes. This machine has a power cord with wire size 18 AWG (AWG means American Wire Gauge).

WARNING: If you use an extension cord, use an extension cord with minimum wire size 16 AWG. Do not use an extension cord longer than 50 feet. Do not join two extension cords.
