SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and ground plug.
• The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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 appliance.
• If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig.A.
• A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig.B, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Fig.B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
• The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig.A) is 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.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG FROM POWER PLUG.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacle that accepts the appliance's plug. Replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER CORD.

Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Servicing of double-insulated machines In a double-insulated machine, two sys- tems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provid- ed on a double-insulated machine, nor should a means for grounding be added to the machine. Servicing a double-insulated machine requires extreme care and knowl- edge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Re- placement parts for a double-insulated ma- chine must be identical to the parts they replace.

Please read and comply with these original instructions prior

to the initial operation of your appliance and store them for later use or subsequent owners.

- The non-compliance of the operating and safety instructions may lead to damages of the appliance and to dangers for the operator and other persons.

– In case of transport damage inform vendor immediately.
