and manufactured
to
satisfy the
highest standards. For maximum perfomsmca, long tool life, and
your
safety, follow these instructions carefully.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the
tool
to
a power
source
_
(receptacle, outlet, etc.) be
sure
the voltage supplied is the
same
as
that
specified
on
the nameplate of the
tool.
A
power
source
with
voltage
greater than
that
specified
for
the
tool
can
result in SERIOUS INJURY
to
the
user—as
well
as
damage
to
the tool.
If
in doubt, DO NOT PLUG
IN THE TOOL. Using a power
source
with
voltage less than the
name-
plate rating is harmful
to
the
motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This
tool
should be grounded while
in
use
to
protect the operator
from
electric shock. The
tool
is equipped
with
an
approved three-conductor cord and three—prong grounding-type
plug
to
fit
the
proper
grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green
and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire.
Never
connect
the green (or green and yellow)
wire
to
a
live terminal.
If
your
unit
is
for
use
on
less
than
150 volts,
it
has
a
plug
that
looks like Fig.
If
it
is
for
use
on
150-250 volts,
it
has a plug
that
looks
like
Fig.
"D”.
An
adapter, Fig.
"B"
and
"C"
is available
for
connecting Fig.
