qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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.
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.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 11.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illus-
trated in Fig. 12, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle, as shown in Fig. 12, ifa properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT
APPLICABLE IN CANADA. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly
grounded outlet box, as shown in Fig. 12.
