GROUNDING
WARNING!
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
1.
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of
electric shock.
(See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
2.
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached
to an electrically “live” terminal.
(See Figure A.)
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
3.
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration.

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
