SECTION 2 - GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

1. The tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock. Notice! To ensure proper grounding, the grounding
conductor of the controller power cord must be well connected to the
grounding terminal of the power facility. The tool is equipped with a three-
conductor cord and three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper
grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in
the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and
yellow) wire to a line terminal.
Green and Yellow ----- Ground
Blue ------ Neutral
Brown ------ Line
2. Grounding of the tool is the most important precaution taken to protect
the user. Every 3-6 months use an Ohm meter to check the ground
connection. Follow these simple instructions: (a) set the Ohm meter level
to R*100 (Ohm), (b) touch the 2 testing probes ("+" & "-") together and
reset the meter to "0", and (c) use the Red ("+") probe to touch the ground
wire on the plug of tool's cord, and the Black "-" probe to touch the end of
bit head. Grounding is normal if the meter reading is close to "0". To get a
normal indication from the meter while testing, the test probes must be
firmly pressed with both hands to the test points.
3. This tool has been tested at the factory by applying 26 amps to the
grounded metal. The ground resistance was equal to or less than 0.2
Ohms.
