This product 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 product

is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into

an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if

you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

Donotmodifythe plug provided with the product - if it will not fit

theoutlet, have a proper outletinstalledbya qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a

grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in

Fig. 1. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet

having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should

be used with this product.

For maximum protection against electric shock, use a circuit

that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. The green

(or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the ground wire.

Never connect this wire to any terminal other than the ground

terminal.

WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, protect

the machine from rain. Keep the machine

ina dry building.

WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, always

use a 3-wire electrical system connected

to the electrical ground. For maximum

protection against electrical shock, use a

circuit that is protected by a ground fault

circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical

contractor.

WARNING: Do not cut, remove or break the ground pin.

If the outlet does not fit the plug, consult

your electrical contractor.

WARNING: Have worn, cut, or damagedcordsandplugs

replaced by an authorized service person.

EXTENSIONCORDS

Use only an approved extension cord with three conductors, a

plug with three terminals, and a connector body with three holes.

The machine has a power cord with wire size 14 AWG (AWG

means American Wire Gauge).

WARNING: If you use an extension cord, use an

extension cord with minimum wire size 14
