Grounding instructions
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK_ IN THE EVENT OF A
SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES
THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN
ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CUR-
RENT. THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED°
The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug
The plug must be used with an outlet that has been
installed and grounded in accordance with all foca!
codes and ordinances The outlet must have the
same configuration as the plug DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER
2 Do not modify the plug that has been provided, tf it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician
3. inspect the plug and cord before each use Do not use
if there are signs of damage
