3-prong plug and Outlet
1. Tools marked with "Grounding Required" have
a three wire cord and three prong grounding
plug. The plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
(See 3-prong plug and Outlet.)

and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire
in the cord must be the only wire connected to
the tool's grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically "live" terminal.
(See 3-prong plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
