Grounding Methods
Grounding Methods Provided by CSA Group. (A) Receptacle with nominal rating less
than 150 volts. (B) 150 volt receptacle without grounding pin fitted with adapter. (C)
150-250 volt receptacle.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event 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 connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. 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 damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply
circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig A. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig B may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as
shown in Fig 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. This adapter is not
permitted in Canada. 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.
