GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOLS:
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 hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accord-
ance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided -if
it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper out-
let 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 _equ@ment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plugis necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor t o a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as t o whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in Figure
A.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illus-
trated in Figure B and C, may be used t o connect this plug t o a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in Figure
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, etc. extending from the
adapter must be connected t o a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
