WARNING
Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor can
result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should be
grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
grounding instructions or if you are in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at 120V
and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure 4) for your
protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding type receptacle, as
shown (see Figure 4).
