GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment -
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinance
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This machine 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 that looks like
the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a qualified electrician
can install a properly grounded outlet (sketch A). The green-colored rigid car, lug,
or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
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 temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
