GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and 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.

FOR FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES RATED LESS THAN

150 VOLTS

Improper connection of an equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualied 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 t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120

volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1.

A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 2 may be used to connect this
plug to a two pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary

adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualied

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 one metal screw.

FOR FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES RATED 150-220 VOLTS:

If the machine is provided with an attachment plug cap as shown in Figure 3, it is intended for use on

a 240 volt (nominal) circuit. No adapter is available for this cap.
