Grounded Tools With Three-Prong Plugs
WARNING: Improper grounding can shock, burn or electrocute.
Grounding of this tool is necessary while in use to protect you from electric shock or electrocution. This tool is
equipped with an approved three-conductor cord and three-prong ground-type plug to fit the proper grounding-
type receptacle. Do not remove grounding prong from the three-prong grounding-type plug. 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. Your unit is for use on less than 150 volts and it has a plug that looks like Fig "A".
An adapter, Fig. "B" and "C", is available for connecting Fig "A" plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, etc, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: The grounding adapter, Fig "C", is prohibited in Canada by Canadian Electrical Code part-1. Therefore
the instructions for it's use are not applicable in Canada.
If your unit is for use on 150 to 250 volts, it had a plug that looks like Fig "D". No adapter is available for a plug
like Fig "D".
Extension Cords
WARNING: Use of damaged cords can shock, burn, or electrocute.
Replace damaged or worn cords immediately. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length
and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and over-heating.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. Use only three-wire extension cords with three-hole
receptacles, which accept the tool plug and have a three-prong grounding-type plugs.
