electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.

NOTE: The cord MUST be PULLED through the
knockout hole, rather than pushed. Pushing the cord
through will not allow the strain relief to fit properly
into the knockout.
Pull the cord at various angles until the strain relief lip
is firmly seated in the knockout. The strain relief is
designed to fit tightly into the knockout, so a firm pull
will be necessary.
