GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

1

In

the

event

of

a

malfunction

or

breakdown,

grounding

provides

a

path

of

least

resistance

for

electric

current

reduce

the

risk

of

electric

shock.

This

too!

is

equipped

with

an

electric

cord

having

an

equipment-grounding

conductor

and

a

grounding

plug.

The

plug

must

be

plugged

into

a

matching

outlet

that

is

properly

installed

and

grounded

in

accordance

with

all

local

bodes

and

ordinances.

2.

Do

not

modify

the

plug

provided-

if

it

will

not

fit

the

outlet,

have

the

proper

outlet

installed

a

qualified

electrician.

Improper

connection

of

the

equipment-grounding

conductor

can

result

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

to

a

live

terminal.

with

a

qualified

electrician

or

serviceman

if

the

grounding

instructions

are

not

completely

understood,

or

in

doubt

as

to

whether

the

tool

is

properly

grounded.
