In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to re-
duce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor 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 QUALI-
FIED 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 con-
ductor. 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 instruc-
tions 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.
