Grounding Instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric 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 the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
The conductor with the green insulation (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 licensed electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if 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, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not
sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
