serious bodily injury or property damage.
Read this manual completely before attempting to operate machine.
This manual has important information for the use and safe operation
of the machine. Keep this manual on file and handy.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: 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.
This appliance 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 machine 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
ordinances. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by
the Canadian Electrical Code.
EXTENSION CORD
If an extension cord is used, use only a three wire, 12 gauge extension
cord that has a three prong grounding type plug and a three prong
receptacle that accepts the machine’s plug. This machine is equipped
with a 14 gauge power cord. Replace or repair all damaged cords.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS DELIVERED
If machine is damaged, notify the carrier immediately and request an
inspection. Be sure to keep the carton, packing inserts, packing lists,
and carrier’s receipt until the inspector has verified your claim.
Make sure voltage and frequency at the wall power receptacle
correspond with that indicated on name plate before plugging in
machine. A 20 amp circuit is recommended.
Use only a 12 gauge, three-wire extension cable which has a 3-prong
grounding type plug and a 3-prong receptacle that accept the
machine’s plug.
