GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 electrical
cord that has 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
into 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
that has an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with 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.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet (sketch B). The tool has a grounding
pin (sketch A). A temporary adapter (sketches C and D) may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle (sketch C), if a properly grounded outlet is not 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.
