plug provided with the tool.  
never remove the grounding 
prong from the plug.  Do not use

Grounded tools: tools with three 

Prong Plugs

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

Tools marked with “Grounding Required” 

1. 

have a three wire cord and three prong 
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 3-Prong Plug and 

Outlet.)

The grounding prong in the plug is 

2. 

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 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

The tool must be plugged into an 

3. 

appropriate outlet, properly installed and 
grounded in accordance with all codes 
and ordinances.  The plug and outlet 
should look like those in the preceding 
illustration.  

(See 3-Prong Plug and 

Outlet.)

two Prong Plugs

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not 

1. 

require grounding.  They have a special 

double insulation system which satisfies
