Grounding Instructions - Makita 9300 Instruction Manual

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOLS: In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current t o
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accord-
ance
with
all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided
-
if
it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor t o a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as t o whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a
nominal rating less than
150
volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A. The tool has
a
ground-
ing plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A Temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B and C, may be used t o connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 6 if
a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid
ear, lug, etc. extending from the adapter must be connected t o a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
