SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
If you have a die-cast metal
unit, for your protection, it is
equipped with a 3-conductor
cord set that has a molded
3-prong grounding-type plug,
and should be used in
combination with a properly
connected grounding-type
outlet as shown in Figure A.
If a grounding-type outlet is
not available, an adapter,
shown in Figure B, may be
obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used
with a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the
adapter must be grounded by attaching its
grounding lug under the screw of the outlet
cover plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter,
it must be determined that the outlet
cover plate screw is properly
grounded. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrician. Never use an
adapter unless you are sure it is
properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not
permitted in Canada.
