When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■ To prevent hazard of electrical shock,
this compactor must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.
■ Do not operate with a damaged cord set,
plug, motor, or after damage in any manner.
Have the appliance examined, repaired, or
adjusted by an authorized service
technician.
■ Do not take apart this appliance. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when
subsequently used.
■ Unplug the compactor before making any
repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a qualified
person.
■ Do not use an adapter plug or an extension
cord with this appliance.
■ Follow National Electric Codes or prevailing
local codes and ordinances. This appliance
must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz and
connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit protected by a 15
or 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
■ If the electric supply provided does not
meet the above requirements, call a licensed
electrician.
■ We recommend that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
■ Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third grounding prong from the
power cord.
■ This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current.
■
This appliance is equipped with a cord
having
an equipment grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with 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 if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
■ Do not modify the plug with this appliance.
If
it will not fit the outlet installed, have a
proper
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
