GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric 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 is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit in the outlet, have the proper type of
outlet installed by a licenced electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in an electric
shock. The conductor 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 necessary, DO
NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a licenced electrician or service person if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure whether the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that
have 3-pronged plugs and 3-pronged outlets that accept
the tool's plug, as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a
damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, VERIFY THE OUTLET IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A LICENCED ELECTRICIAN CHECK
THE OUTLET.
