GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Ɣ
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 a power 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.
Ɣ
Do not modify the plug provided-if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Ɣ
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 power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
Ɣ
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.
Ɣ
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's
plug.
Ɣ
(120V) This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in
Figure (below). The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure (below). A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle 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, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
Ɣ
(240V) This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in sketch D in
figure.

NOTE: Adapter in (Figure B) is not for use in Canada.

MEANS
Ɣ
Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table (below) indicates the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
