2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for

use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less

than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an

outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the

machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug

illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like

the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect

this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown

in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The

temporary adapter should be used only until a properly

grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever

the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal

screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not

permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE

RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF

YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

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. This machine is

equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The

conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is

green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-

grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the

electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the

equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if

the grounding instructions are not completely

understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is

properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong

grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor

receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in

Fig. A.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

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 shows the correct gauge to use depending on the

cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
