DP12VL
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool 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 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 n
ecessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in
Figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like the one shown.
