protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure that
your outlet, as pictured below, is properly grounded; have it

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug, approved by Underwriters Laboratories
and the Canadian Standards Association. The ground conductor
has a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end
and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. 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 service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician replace
the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE-prong
outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs to
2-prong receptacles.

a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle. Adapter is not allowed
in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To
keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor
burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords
which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles which accept the tool's plug.
