Grounding Instructions
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock. The tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-
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 intended for use on less than 150 V,
it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch A. If it is for use on
150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch D. An
adapter, sketches B and C, is available for connecting sketch A type
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is
available for a plug as shown in sketch D. ADAPTER SHOWN IN
FIGURES B and C IS NOT FOR USE IN CANADA.
