GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding 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 equipment-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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel 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 receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal
rating of 150
–250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated
in Sketch D. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch D.
Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for
use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified
service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
