WARNING: To help avoid electric shock, the green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as to a
properly grounded outlet box. Not all outlet boxes
are properly grounded, if you are not sure the out-
let box is properly grounded, have it checked by a
qualified electrician.
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you
already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
NOTE: make sure the proper extension cord is used and
is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to deter-
mine 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 plug.

An adapter, as shown, is available for connecting plugs to
2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as to a properly grounded outlet box. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
