USE ONLY
ELECTRICAL: US/(EU)
This machine operates on a 14/(7) amp nominal 120/
(230)V, 60/(50) hz, A.C. power circuit. The amp, hertz,
and voltage are listed on the data label found on each
machine. Using voltages above or below those
indicated on the data label will cause serious damage
to the motors.
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 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/(230) volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
in “Fig. A”. A temporary adapter that looks like the
adapter in “Fig . C” may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”, if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Fig. A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug, or similar that extends from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent g round
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.
Safety
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
