This equipment MUST be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electrical current. This
unit is equipped with a cord having a ground-
ing wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if
grounding instructions are not completely un-
derstood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
equipment is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the prod-
uct power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install a three  slot receptacle.
This unit should be plugged into a separate 60
hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown
on the serial plate.
