WARNING
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing from outlet.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• 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 green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 7) may be used to connect this plug to a matching
2-conductor receptacle as shown in figure 7. The tempo-
rary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Adapter
In Canada, the use of temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electric Code. Where 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 qualified
electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure the extension
cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles which accept the tool plug. When using an
extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in the voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Use the table to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
