120 VOLT, 50/60 CYCLE MACHINES
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 electric shock. This
product 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
ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of elec-
tric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-
erly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled 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. 1. 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.
For maximum protection against electric shock, use a circuit
that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. The
green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
ground wire. Never connect this wire to any terminal other
than the ground terminal.
WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, pro-
tect the machine from rain. Keep the
machine in a dry building.
WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, al-
ways use a 3-wire electrical system con-
nected to the electrical ground. For
maximum protection against electrical
shock, use a circuit that is protected by
a ground fault circuit interrupter. Con-
sult 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 and
plugs 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 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 14 AWG. Do not use an exten-
sion cord longer than 50 feet. Do
not join two extension cords.
