GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to
protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if grounding
instructions are not understood or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at
150V and e 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure
2) for your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a
properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-
type receptacle, as shown (see Figure 2).

• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any man-
ner. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-
nals of plug when installingor removingfrom outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances•Do not modify plug
provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically,and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the elec-
tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a propedy grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National
Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a quali-
fied electrician.

Figure 3 - 2-Prong Remeptade with Adapter
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong groundingadapter (see
Figure 3) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong groundingadapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong groundingadapter
is not permitted in Canada•)
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong groundingadapter is per-
mitted, the rigidgreen tab or terminal on the side of the
adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water
pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly
grounded wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properly grounded.To ensure proper
ground, groundingmeans must be tested by a quali-
fied electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause'some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• The minimum extension cord wire size is A.W.G.14.
Do not use extension cords over 25 ft. Ioqg.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
groundingtype plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING; Make sure unit is off and disconnected
from power source before inspecting any wil:ing.
The motor is installedand wiring connected :as illustrat-
ed in the wiring schematic (see Figure 4).
The motor Is assembled with an approved three con-
ductor cord to be used on 120 vo ts as indicated. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a double
pole lockingrocker switch.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch.
The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
