Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire

with a cord having a grounding wire with an ap-
propriate grounding plug. (See the figure below.)
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. Check with

these instructions are not completely understood
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
