WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. A.
Fig. A shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If
a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. B) can be used to temporarily
connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle.
The adapter (Fig. B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent
earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.
