This machine MusT Be grounded
while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides the path of least resistance for electric current and
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug MusT be
plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine do noT modify the
plug. If it will not fit your electrical receptacle, have a
qualified electrician install the proper connections to meet
all electrical codes. All connections must also adhere to all
of OSHA mandates.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, use the proper gauge of extension
cord. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your machine will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter of
the extension cord is. If in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in a loss of power and overheating.

equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor.
do noT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you
do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is
marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate
that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a worn or
damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by
a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from children, sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
