This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and shouldbe protected with a time delay fuse. NOTE: Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US. Ifan extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matchingreceptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure theswitch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on themachine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.SHOCK HAZARD� Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations�MOTOR SPECIFICATIONSYour machine is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, makesure the switch is in the “OFF” position.GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSSHOCK HAZARD� This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electricshock�1� All grounded, cord-connected machines:In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reducethe risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor anda grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordancewith all local codes and ordinances.Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor withinsulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. Ifrepair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to alive terminal.Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instruction are not completely understood, or if indoubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles thataccept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.2� Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than150 volts:If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machinewill have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A� A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapterillustrated in Fig. B may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B, if aproperly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outletcan be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter mustbe connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must beheld in place with a metal screw.NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.SHOCK HAZARD� In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded� If youare not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle�
