GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
120 VOLT MACHINES
Instructions for connection to the power supply and
the electrical ground.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break-
down, 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 appropri-
ate 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. 3. 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 elec-
trical 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
contractor.
WARNING: Have worn, cut or damaged cords re-
placed 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
machine 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.
