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 machines 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 Fig. A. The
tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig A. A temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter illustrated in Fig B may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in Fig 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. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. 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.
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 Fig C. The tool
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig C. 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.
