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
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 less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated
in Sketch A, Fig. A. The tool has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Sketch A.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C in Fig.
A, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid
ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
Note: In Canada, the use of a
temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between
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 Fig. A. 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. Fig. B shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
