GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED EQUIPMENT: EQUIPMENT WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. WARNING! The Power Cord requires the attachment of a 220 volt, grounded, 3-Prong Plug (not included). For safety purposes, only a qualified, certified, electrician should attach a Plug to the Power Cord. Never modify the Plug in any way. To comply with the National Electric Code, and to provide additional protection from the risk of electrical shock, this product should only be connected to a 220 volt electrical outlet that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

2.The grounding prong in the plug is connected to the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the welding equipment. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the equipment’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.(See Figure A.)

3.Your welding equipment must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)
