GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electrical current and reduces the risk of electrical shock. This tool
is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that has
been properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If the provided plug will not fit the
electrical outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in
risk of electrical shock. The conductor wire with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electrical cord or plug is required, DO NOT connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
If in doubt about these instructions consult a qualified,
licensed electrician.
USE ONLY A THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORD with
a 3-prong grounding plug and three-hole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plugs as shown.
It is recommended that stationary tools be assigned to a dedicated 15 amp circuit
using #12 wire.
