This machine must be grounded! In the event 
of certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, 
grounding provides a path of least resistance 
for electric current in order to reduce the risk of 
electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The 
wire with green insulation (with or without 
yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding 
wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord 
is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding wire to a live (current carrying) 
terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service 
personnel if you do not understand these 
grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt 
about whether the machine is properly grounded. 
If you ever notice that a cord is damaged or 
worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately 
replace it with a new one.

As specified in the Circuit Requirements 
section on the previous page, these machines 
must be hardwired to the power source, using a 
locking switch (see Figure 10).

These machines must also be connected to a 
grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to a 
system with an equipment-grounding conductor. 
Due to the complexity and high voltage involved, 
this type of installation MUST be done by an 
electrician or qualified service personnel.
