GROUNDING / DOUBLE INSULATION INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Applicable to machines with a three pin plug.
This appliance 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
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. Check with 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 appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have
proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure A.
A temporary adaptor which looks like the adaptor illustrated
in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle, as shown, 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.
NOTE! This temporary adaptor is not permitted in Canada.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCES
Applicable to machines with a two-pin plug
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing
a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a dou-
ble-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they
replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the
words"DOUBLE
INSULATED." The symbol (square within a square)
may also be used on the product.
