GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

EXTENSION CORDS

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The

appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper

grounding-type receptacle. The machine has a plug that looks like sketch A in Figure 73.1. An adaptor,

sketch B, should be used for connecting sketch-A plugs to two-prong receptacles, BUT WE DO NOT

RECOMMEND THIS. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OR INJURY

RESULTING FROM IMPROPER GROUNDING OR MISMATCHED ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES. The

grounding tab which extends from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a

properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C using a metal screw.

Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors

that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less

than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before

using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to

disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
