PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATION

Make the following preparations before operating the power tool:
1. Installation
Secure the machine on a level flat surface, and keep it in a stable condition.
2. 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 power tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a plug
with a grounding pin, as shown in Fig. 4. The plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and regulations.
Do not modify the provided plug if it does not fit the receptacle.
Have a proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
equipment-grounding conductor is the one with the green outer insulation (with/without yellow stripes).
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-core 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 power tool is intended for use on a circuit
with an receptacle similar to the one illustrated in sketch A, Fig. 4. A temporary adapter, similar to the
one illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect the power tool plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in sketch B in case a properly grounded receptacle is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded receptacle has been installed by
a qualified electrician. The green-colored grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
WARNING:
10
Always connect the power tool to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system: or to
a system having an equipment-grounding conductor.
