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.

Grounded, cord-connected tools 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 Sketch A in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Sketch A 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, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to
a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
