WOODLATHE MANUAL
THE "OFF" POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.
24. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power
tools.
All grounded, cord-connected machines: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly
grounded.
