Electrical Safety

IMPORTANT

(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong(grounding) plug. Use this with a standard
three-slot(grounding) wall power outlet(Fig. 10) to
minimize the hazard of electric shock. The customer
should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.
PREFERRED METHOD
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE
THIRD(GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER PLUG.
A. SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED ONLY

Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if
you wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made. Use UL-listed adapter,
available from most local hardware store(Fig. 11). The
large slot in the adapter must be aligned with the large
slot in the receptacle to assure a proper polarity
connection.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to
the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through
the house wiring.
The customer should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter, using
one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground
terminal might break. DO NOT USE the appliance
with a broken adapter plug.
B. SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations.
Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to an
eventual breakage of the ground terminal. The wall
power outlet should be replaced by a
three-slot(grounding) outlet instead.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an extension cord. However, if
you wish to use an extension cord, use a CSA
certified/UL-listed 3-wire(grounding) extension cord,
rated 15A, 125V.
