Safety Instructions
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• FOR ALL GROUNDED CORD CONNECTED
TOOLS:
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord having an equip-
ment-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. Im-
proper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The con-
ductor with insulation, having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes, is the equip-
ment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not con-
nect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man 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 recep-
tacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace
damaged or worn cord immediately.
