GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should
electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk
of electrical shock. This machine is equipped with a
cord having an equipment--grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed 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 machine. If it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
SAFETY LABELS
The safety labels appear on the machine in the locations indicated. Replace labels if they are missing or become
damaged or illegible.
WARNING: Spin-
ning brush. Keep
hands away. Unplug
power cord before ser-
vicing machine.
