Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, 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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

⚠️ DANGER! 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.

? NOTE: For North America only:

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding pin.

Diagram Description: Grounding

Figure 1 illustrates a standard three-prong plug (grounding pin) connecting to a grounded outlet, which is connected to a grounded outlet box.

A temporary adapter (shown in Figures 2 and 3) can be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Diagram Description: Temporary Adapter

Figure 2 shows a two-prong receptacle with a grounding adapter plugged in. The adapter has a metal screw. Figure 3 shows a close-up of the adapter, highlighting the tab for the grounding screw.

The green-colored rigid ear or tab extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. The adapter must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.

⚠️ WARNING! Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.

The green (or green/yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.

Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets.

⚠️ CAUTION! DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 m) long.

Installing the Brush or Pad Holder

1. Align the lugs with the corresponding slots in the brush or pad holder and turn the brush or pad holder counterclockwise to lock in place.
