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 machine’s plug.
This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in diagram 2-10. The
machine has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in diagram 2-10. Make sure the machine is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this machine.
If the machine 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.
