5.0 Electrical requirements
This machine must be grounded. 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 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.
Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.*
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A below.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the grounding plug as illustrated in Figure A below. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in Figure B below, may be used to connect this plug to a
two-hole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.** The temporary
adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green colored rigid ear or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box.
Figure A Figure B
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
** In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
