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 accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinance.
WARNING
Improper installation of the grounding plug may result in a risk of electri-
cal shock. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required,
do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yel-
low stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding in-
structions are not completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if
it does not fir the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounding
plug similar to the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary
adapter similar to the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B
when a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) is installed by a qualified
electrician. The green coloured rigid ear, lug, or similar part extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it
must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTICE
The adapters in sketch B and C in Figure 1 are prohibited in Canada.
