Grounding
~
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING
,.,
WIRE CONNECTION:
~
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug
is
damaged. If damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
2.
The grounding prong
in
the plug
is
connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system
in
the tool. The green wire
in
the cord must
be
the only wire connected
to the tool's grounding system and must
never be attached to an electrically "live"
terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3.
The tool must be plugged into
an
appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded
in
accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those
in
the preceding illustration.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
1.
Tools marked with "Grounding Required" have
a three wire cord and three prong grounding
plug. The plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user, reducing the risk
of
electric
shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1.
Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not
require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies
OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards
of
Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code.
2.
Double insulated tools may be used
in
either
of
the
120 volt outlets shown
in
the preceding illustration.
