GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 t into the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation that has an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with qualied 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 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet (sketch B). The tool has a grounding
pin (sketch A). A temporary adapter (sketches
C and D) may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle (sketch C), if a properly
grounded outlet is not installed by a qualied
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.
