GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE
ONLY.

ELECTRICAL:

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.

EXTENSION CORDS:

If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at
least one size larger than the power cord on the
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in
length.

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 having 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.

SAFTEY

120 VOLT MODELS:

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the
plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that looks like
the adaptor 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 adaptor 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 wire 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 a metal screw.

Improper connection of the equipment­grounding conductor can result in a 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. Do not
modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
