GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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 tool 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 a 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 tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal
rating less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Sketch A in Fig. 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch A in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Sketch B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug
and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such
