outlet protected by a 15-amp. time delay or Circuit-Saver
fuse or circuit breaker.
iF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED, HAVE IT CHECKED BY A
QUALI FlED ELECTRICIAN.

GROUNDING
PRONG
If your unit is for use on less than t50 volts, it has a plug
that looks like above.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved
by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards
Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket and is
attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground
prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
if the outlet you are planning to use for this power toot is
of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to
known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs
to 2°prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already
have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle. Adapter is
not allowed in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent
over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.Go) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords which 'have 3 prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept
the tools plug.
