GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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
an electric 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. Do not
modify the plug provided -- if it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
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
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. 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.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong
grounding plugs and 3pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a
supply circuit having a nominal rating less than
150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 28.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 28. 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.
