Grounding Instructions

This product should 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 a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

DANGER – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

1. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is

necessary, 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 yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

2. Check with a qualified electrician or

serviceman if the grounding instructions are

not completely understood, or if in doubt as to

whether the product is properly grounded.

3. This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug

illustrated in sketch A in Figure 2: Grounding

Methods. A temporary adapter, which looks like

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 if a properly grounded outlet

is not available. The temporary adapter should

be used only until a properly grounded outlet

(sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green colored rigid ear, lug, and 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 the screw.

4. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,

use only a three wire extension cord that has

a three-blade grounding plug, and a three-

slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the

product. Replace or repair a damaged cord.
