Grounding Instructions

ELECTRICAL:

In the USA this machine utilizes standard 15 amp
120V, 60 hz, A.C. and/or 30 or 50 amp 240V power
circuit. The amp, hertz, and voltage requirements are
listed on the data label. Using voltages above or below
those indicated on the data label will cause serious
damage.

EXTENSION CORDS:

When an extension cord is used, use UL certified
undamaged power cords appropriate to carry 120V 15
Amps or 240V 50 Amps of continuous power.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The extension cords approved for use
with this machine have 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 ordinances.

The nominal 120-volt extension cord has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug in Figure A. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor in Figure C may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Figure B, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet Figure A can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.

The nominal 240-volt extension cord has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug in Figure D. If the wall outlet
and cord in Figure E are used, be sure to plug the
attached 120V cord into the 120V grounded outlet, as
shown.

15 amp ground fault module test

Figure D Figure E

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 extension cord - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

Un branchement inapproprié du conducteur de
protection peut entraîner un risque d'électrocution.
Vérifier avec un électricien ou un membre qualifié
du personnel d'entretien si vous doutez de la mise
à la terre de la prise. Ne pas modifier la fiche
fournie avec la corde d'extension; si elle ne corre-
spond pas à la prise, faire poser une fiche appro-
priée par un électricien qualifié.
