grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, 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 piug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power toot is
of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG tN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown and always connect the grounding tug to
known ground.
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. The green grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
