SAFETY RULES
1. 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.
2. Do not modify the plug provided it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrican.
3. 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 stripe 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.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
7. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in sketch 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 sketchers B
and C, may be used to connect his plug to a 1-pole receptable 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, etc. extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlex box.
Note:
The type of electrical plug and receptacle differs from country to country.
