GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment
should be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool
is properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated
at 300V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure 44) for
your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 44).
• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a
qualified electrician. A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding
adapter (see Figure 45) is available for connecting plugs to a
two pole outlet if it is properly grounded.
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
• (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal
on the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly grounded
water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
