Flowtron Outdoor Products LE-800B Electrical Requirements, Grounding Instructions, On/Off Switch

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

I m p o rtant: Use a 14 ga. or heavier extension cord with a maximum length of 100 ft.

Grounding Instructions

This shredder should be grounded while in use to reduce the risk of electric shock to the operator.

The shredder is equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding plug. The green or green and yellow conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green or green and yellow wire to a live terminal.

The shredder is intended for use on a circuit that has a grounded outlet box that looks like the one illustrated in figure 8, sketch A.

An adapter which looks like the adapter illustrat- ed in figure 8, sketch B is available for connect- ing three-prong plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like on the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box, using a metal screw.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the shredder is properly grounded.

Extensions Cords

Only use three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-hole receptacles that accept the shredder’s plug. When using an extension cord, make sure that it is in good condition.

Use a 14 ga. or heavier extension cord with a maximum length of 100 ft. An undersized exten- sion cord will cause a drop in line voltage result- ing in loss of power and overheating.

Warning – To reduce the risk of electric shock, only use extension cords intended for outdoor use, such as cord types SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW -A.

To prevent disconnection of the shredder cord from the extension cord during operation, make a knot as shown in figure 9. Devices for retain- ing extension cords are also available at your local hardware retailer.
