WARNINg!
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 facil-
ity before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
gROUNdEd TOOlS: TOOlS WITH THREE pRONg plUgS
Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong ground-
ing plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If tool should
electrically malfunction, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing risk of electric shock.
(See figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
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 grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration.
(See figure A.)

the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code.
