GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

This floor machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all local codes and ordinances

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, 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.

GROUNDING

METHODS

DANGER:

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock.

This floor machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A). A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be used to connect the plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig A) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

WARNING:

The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear, lug, or 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 the metal screw (Fig C).

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical 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 machine. If it will not fit the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
