120 VOLT MACHINES
Instructions for connection to the power supply and the electrical ground.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate oulet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
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 product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 9. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this product.
WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, protect the machine from rain. Keep the machine in a dry building.
WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, always use a 3-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground.
For maximum protection against electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult
your electrical contractor.
WARNING: Do not cut, remove or break the ground pin. If the outlet does not fit the plug, consult your electrical con-
tractor.
WARNING: Have worn, cut or damaged cords replaced by an authorized service person.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only an approved extension cord with three conductors, a plug with three terminals, and a connector body with three holes. The ma-
chine has a power cord with wire size 14 AWG (AWG means American Wire Gauge).
WARNING: If you use an extension cord, use an extension cord with minimum wire size 12 AWG. Do not use an extension
cord longer than 50 feet. Do not join two extension cords.
