Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM 
INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: 
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.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

 

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

1.  Tools marked with “Grounding Required” 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”.)

2.  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 “3-Prong Plug and Outlet”.)

3.  The 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 preceding illustration.   

(See “3-Prong Plug and Outlet”.)
