Grounding Instructions
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a
3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and
yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never
connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
If your unit is intended for use on less than 150 V, it has a plug
that looks like that shown in sketch A. If it is for use on 150 to
250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch D. An
adapter, sketches B and C, is available for connecting sketch A
type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.
No adapter is available for a plug as shown in sketch D.
ADAPTER SHOWN IN FIGURES B and C IS NOT FOR USE
IN CANADA. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
