IMPORTANT-For Your SafetyA
To ensure safe operation the two-pin plug or the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into 
a standard two-pin power point or three-pin power point which is effectively grounded through the 
normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be two-condoctor or three-conductor and be 
correctly wired to provide connection to ground. Incorrectly wired extension cords are a major 
cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and 
that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective 
grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.
