WARNING
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Danger! Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt
circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug as illustrated. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug.
No adapter
should be used with this product.
CAUTION - Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. For lengths less than 50 feet, use a No. 18 AWG extension
cord. For lengths more than 50 feet, use a No. 14 or No. 16 AWG extension cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
