GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from

electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved three-conductor cord

and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type

receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the

grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live

terminal.

If your unit is for use on less than 150

Volts, the power cord is equipped

with a plug that has two flat, parallel

current-carrying prongs and one

longer, round or "U"-shaped, ground

prong which requires a mating 3-

conductor grounded type receptacle,

as shown in Fig. A.

An adapter, shown in Fig. B, is

available for connecting 3-prong

grounding type plugs that are used on

units less than 150 Volts to 2-prong

receptacles. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT

ALLOWED IN CANADA. The green

colored rigid ear, lug, etc., must be

connected to a permanent ground

such as a properly grounded outlet

box, as shown in Fig. B.

If your unit is for use on 150 to 250

Volts, the power cord is equipped

with a plug that has two flat current

carrying prongs in tandem, and one

round or "U"-shaped, longer ground

prong, as shown in Fig. C. This plug is

used only with the proper mating 3-

conductor grounding type receptacle,

as shown in Fig. C. No adapter is

available for this type plug.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE

RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS
