ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and
symbols should be followed at all times!
In case 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 connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The equipment-grounding conductor is the wire that has a green outer surface, with or without
yellow stripes. 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 a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of
(Figure 1). The tool has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in Figure 1. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches
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. The
green-colored rigid ear, plug, and the like, extending
from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used
for this machine. Receptacles are available, having built-in GFCI protection, and may be used for this
measure of safety.
