can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by
the Canadian Electric Code.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit
having a nominal rating between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:
If the tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks
like the one illustrated in Fig. C, the tool will have a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. C. Make sure the tool is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be re-
connected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the re-
connection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after
re-connection, the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE
IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE
HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG FROM POWER PLUG.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong
grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the
tool's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D,
shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
