Warnings

The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this

equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard

symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this

manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols

and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where

applicable.

WARNING

GROUNDING

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces

the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is

equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug

must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances.

•Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric

shock.

•When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the

grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.

•The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without

yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

•Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is

properly grounded.

•Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

•This product is for use on a nominal 120V or 230V circuit and has a grounding

plug similar to the plugs illustrated below.

•Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

•Do not use an adapter with this product.

Extension Cords:

•Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a grounding plug and a grounding

receptacle that accepts the plug on the product.

•Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. If an extension cord is necessary

use 12 AWG (2.5mm2) minimum to carry the current that the product draws.

•An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and

overheating.
