GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. 1. All grounded, cord-connected machines: 2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.
