This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This unit is equipped with a cord having a ground- ing wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely un- derstood, or if doubt exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the prod- uct power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three † slot receptacle. This unit should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown on the serial plate.
