GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
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 you do not
understand grounding instructions or if you are in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord rated up to 240V and a 3-prong grounding type
plug rated at 115V (See Figure 1) 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 1).
NOTE: If the unit is operated at 230V, a 230V plug (not
supplied) must be used.

•
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
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 installing or removing from 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 properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National
Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Any receptacle replacement
should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
(See Figure 2) is available for connecting plugs to a two
pole outlet if it is properly grounded.

•
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
is net permitted in Canada.)
•
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is
permitted, the rigid green 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, grounding means 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.
•
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type 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.
