LIMINARY
INSTRUCTIONS
Your electric tool
is precision
built
and manufactured
to
satisfy the
highest standards.
For maximum perfomsmca, long tool
life,
and your
safety,
follow
these
instructions carefully.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool
to
a
power
source
_
(receptacle,
outlet,
etc.)
be
sure
the voltage supplied
is
the
same
as
that
specified
on
the nameplate
of the tool. A
power
source
with
voltage
greater than that
specified
for the tool
can
result
in
SERIOUS INJURY
to
the
user—as
well
as
damage to the
tool. If
in
doubt,
DO
NOT
PLUG
IN THE TOOL.
Using
a
power
source
with voltage
less
than the
name-
plate rating
is
harmful
to
the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This tool should
be
grounded
while
in
use
to
protect the operator
from electric
shock. The
tool
is
equipped
with
an
approved three-conductor cord and
three—prong
grounding-type
plug
to
fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The
green
(or
green
and
yellow) conductor in the cord
is
the grounding wire.
Never connect
the green
(or
green and
yellow) wire
to
a
live
terminal. If your unit
is
for
use
on
less
than 150 volts, it
has
a
plug that looks like Fig. If
it
is
for
use on
150-250 volts, it
has
a
plug
that looks like Fig. "D".
An adapter,
Fig.
"B"
and
"C"
is
available
for connecting Fig.
"A"
plugs
to
two-prong
receptacles,
(see
Note). The green-colored rigid
ear, lug,
etc., extending from the adapter
must be connected to
a
permanent
ground
such
as
to
properly grounded outlet box. No adapter
is avail-
able
for Fig. "D"
