Grounding Instructions
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a standard 15
amp 115V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The amp, hertz,
and voltage are listed on the data label found on each
machine. Using voltages above or below those
indicated on the data label will cause serious damage
to the motors.
Extension Cords:
A suitable extension cord is provided with this appli-
ance. The safe operation of the appliance is
dependent on the use of a suitable extension cord. If
a cord other than the one provided is used, it must be
type SJT, at least 16 gauge, and limited to no more
than 50 feet in length.
Grounding Instructions:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug in
"Fig. A". A temporary adaptor that looks like the
adaptor in "Fig . C" may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in "Fig. B", if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug,
or the like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service person if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de terre
d'équipement peut entraîner des risques d'électrocu-
tion. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien qualifié ou d'un
responsable de l'entretien si vous avez quelque doute
que ce soit quant au raccordement à la terre de votre
prise murale. Ne modifiez pas la fiche fournie avec
l'appareil : si elle ne correspond pas à la prise murale,
faites installer une prise adéquate par un électricien
qualifié.
