the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in 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.

appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This machine is for use on a 110 to 120 Volt AC 60 cycle
electric circuit. Make sure you have the correct frequency
and voltage before connecting the power cord to an outlet.
The machine has a plug as shown in figure A. If a receptacle
connected to the electrical ground as shown in figure A is not
available, use an adapter as shown in figure C. This adapter
must be connected as shown in figure B to an electrical
ground in the electrical outlet. Make sure you use the plate
screw and the tab to fasten the adapter.
WARNING: Always use this machine with an AC
three-conductor electrical system connected to
the electrical ground. Replace any worn, cut or
damaged cords. Replace any damaged plugs,
receptacles or connector bodies.
