LOCATION OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR
The air compressor should always be located in a clean, dry, and well-

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This prod¬uct is equipped with a
cord with a grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is prop¬erly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes. Check with a qualified electrician
or service personnel if these instructions are not completely under¬stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded.
Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The grounding wire has insulation
that is green with or without yellow stripes. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This
product is for use on a normal circuit rated to 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug
to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for
use on a different type of electric circuit, qualified service personnel should make the reconnection.
