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.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt AC circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug

illustrated in (Fig. 1A). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in (Fig. 1B) may be used

available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. 1A) can be

installed by a qualified 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 a metal screw.

EXTENSION CORDS

If the unit is to be used with an extension cord, the cord must be UL Listed/Certified, No. 16AWG, SJTW-

A/SJT 3 Conductor, marked on flag label “Suitable for Outdoor Applications, Store Indoors.” Not to exceed
