WARNING

In order to prevent electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols 

should be followed at all times!

If permanently connected this tool should be connected to a grounded metal permanent 

wiring system; or to a system having an equipment - grounding conductor.

In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical 

current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord which 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 a qualified electrician.

•   Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric  

  shock. The equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer  

  surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes. 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 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.

•   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 a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A. 

The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. 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 electri-

cian. The green-colored rigid ear, plug, and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected 

to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.
