This machine must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This machine
is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be in-
serted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding 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 machine-if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit and has a grounding at-
tachment plug that looks like the plug il-
lustrated in sketchpicture A. Make sure
that the machine is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as
