Safety
ELECTRICAL:
Appliance for use on a nominal 120-volt, in the USA
the machine operate on a standard 15 amp 115V, 60
hz, A.C. power circuit. Appliance for use at *EU mod-
el, In Europe the machine operate at 220-240V, 50/60
HZ. The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data
label found on each machine. Using voltages above
or below those indicated on the data label will cause
serious damage to the motors.

EXTENSION CORDS:

If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be
at least one size larger than the power cord on the
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) for
230V = 24.6 feet (7.5m) in length.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should mal-
function 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
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Model for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has
a grounded plug that looks like the plug in "Fig. A". A
temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in "Fig.
C" may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole re-
ceptacle as shown in "Fig. B", if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or wire extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. When-
ever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by
a metal screw.The plug of "Fig. D" is only for 230V
models (*EU models).

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.
Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de
terre d'équipement peut entraîner des risques
d'électrocution. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien quali-
fié ou d'un responsable de l'entretien si vous avez
quelque doute que ce soit quant au raccordement à
la terre de votre prise murale. Ne modifiez pas la fiche
fournie avec l'appareil : si elle ne correspond pas à la
prise murale, faites installer une prise adéquate par
un électricien qualifié.
