Grounding Instructions
Electric models must 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 an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DANGER — Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a
green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt
as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is rated more than 15 amperes and is for use on a
circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts, or the product is for
use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120 volts, and
is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit
connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the
product must be reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified
service personnel.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. For lengths less
than 50 feet, No. 12 AWG extension cords should be used. If
an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked
with the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For
example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the
cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.
