Grounding instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resis- tance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equip- ment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A) (Fig. 1-2). The plug must be plugged into an appropriate extension cord and outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER -

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qual- ified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug or extension cord provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch (A).

A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle

(E)if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground

(G)such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Note: In Canada, the use of a tempo- rary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Extension cord instructions

Use at least a 16 gauge, grounded type SJ or SJT type extension cord. The extension cord must employ a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole recep- tacle that accepts the machine plug.
