GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

BRC 46/38 C 86306850 12/27/07 2-

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.

ELECTRICAL:

In the USA this machine operates on a standard 15 amp

115V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit . 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should

malfunction 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

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 115-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 receptacle 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

the like extending from the adaptor must be connected

to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded

outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must

be held in place by a metal screw.

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.

WARNING:

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is no

ermitted by the Canadian Electrical Code
