IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
•To prevent hazard of electrical shock,
this compactor must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
•Do not operate with a damaged cord set, plug, motor or after damage in any manner. Have the appliance examined, repaired, or adjusted by an authorized service technician.
•Do not take apart this appliance. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when subsequently used.
•Unplug the compactor before making any repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified person.
•Do not use an adapter plug or an extension cord with this appliance.
•Follow National Electric Codes or prevailing local codes and ordinances. This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
•If the electric supply provided does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician.
•We recommend that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
•Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third grounding prong from the power cord.
•This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

WARNING: Improper
connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
•Do not modify the plug with this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet installed, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
