IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
13. Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that look like the plug
illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated B and C may be used to
connect the plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
