Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where applicable.

Grounding Instructions

This product 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.

WARNING

GROUNDING

• Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock.

• When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.

• The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

• Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
