GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,

 grounding provides the path of least resistance 

for electric current, in order to reduce the risk of the electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric 
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug 

MUST

 be plugged into 

a correspounding outlet that is properly installed and grounded, in accordance with 

ALL

 local codes and 

ordinances.

DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG.

 If it does not fit into the outlet, have the proper type of outlet installed by a 

licenced electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION

 of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The 

conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. 
If it is necessary to repair or replace the power cord or plug, do not connect the equipment grounding 
conductor to a live terminal.

CONSULT

 a licensed electrician if these grounding instructions are 

not completely understood, or if there is any doubt about whether the 
tool is grounded properly.

USE ONLY A THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORD

 that is equipped with 

a 3-pronged plug and plug it into an outlet that can accept the plug 
on the tool’s power cord, as shown in 

Fig. A.

 Repair or replace a 

damaged or worn cord or an extension cord immediately.
Use a “drip loop” in the power cord in order to keep the power 
cord plug and the outlet dry. A drip loop is a part of the cord that is 
below the level of the outlet, or before and below the level of the 
connection, if an extension cord is used.
To create a drip loop, allow for a sufficient amount of slack in the 
power cord so that the power cord sags between the outlet and the 
wet/dry sharpener.
If an extension cord is being used, raise the connector using a 
chair or a box or another method in order to ensure that cord is 
not touching the floor. If the plug or outlet gets wet, do not touch 
the power cord. Disconnect the fuse or the circuit breaker that supplies power to the sharpener, and then 
unplug the cord and examine it for the presence of water.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

Verify that the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is 
heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. Using an undersized cord will cause a drop in line 
voltage, which will result in a loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use, 
according to cord length of the extension cord and the nameplate amperage rating. When in doubt, use the 
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Not recommended

Verify that the extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Replace a damaged extension cord 
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Keep extension cords away from sharp objects, 
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for operating power tools. This circuit should consist of not less than a #12 
wire,and should be protected by a 15 A time-delayed fuse. before plugging the sharpener into the electrical 
outlet, verify that the switch is in the 

OFF

 position and that the electric current is rated the same as the 

current that is stamped on the motor nameplate. Running the sharpener at a lower voltage will damage the 
motor.

WARNING!

This wet/dry sharpener is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use it in a damp 
location.

CAUTION!

ALWAYS VERIFY that the outlet that is used is properly grounded. If there is any doubt, have it 
inspected by a licensed electrician.

WARNING!

In order to protect the operator from electric shock, this tool must be grounded while in use.
