120 VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, 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.
WARNING!
The machine must be used with an extension power cord as follows:
– minimum length 15 feet
– type S, or ST, or SO, or STO, or STW
– minimum rate 300V 140/167°F (60/75°C)
DANGER!
– Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualifi ed 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 fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
– This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (B, Fig. 1). A
temporary adapter (B and C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (B), if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (A) can be installed by
a qualifi ed electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like 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. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
– Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
– The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached
to the grounding pin only.
– Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets.
DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 ft (15 m) long.
