A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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.
2. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.
6. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Sketch A in Figure (below) (120V). The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch A in Figure (below). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Sketch B if a 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. 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.
