GROUNDING
Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding
plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). If the tool
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path
to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to
the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire con-
nected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live”
terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in
Figure A.
FIG. A
WARNING:
IMPROPERLY CONNECTING THE GROUNDING WIRE CAN
RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELEC-
TRICIAN IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE OUTLET IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE TOOL. NEVER
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG. DO NOT USE THE
TOOL IF THE CORD OR PLUG IS DAMAGED. IF THE PLUG WILL NOT FIT THE
OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL CORDS CAN BE HAZARDOUS. MISUSE CAN
RESULT IN FIRE OR DEATH BY ELECTRICAL SHOCK. READ CAREFULLY AND
FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS.
