GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your Spartan Tool equipment, make sure a properly grounded, three-hole outlet is available . If not, as in some older homes,
use a three-prong adapter and connect the green pigtail (or grounding lug) to a known ground, such as a cold water pipe . A three-
prong adapter with grounding lug can be purchased from any hardware store . Never cut off the grounding prong for use in a two-hole
outlet receptacle . By doing so, you have cut off your protection from shock .
Spartan Tool equipment must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock . Spartan Tool equipment comes
with a three-conductor cord and a three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the properly grounded receptacle . The green (or green and
yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire . Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal . Your unit
is for use on 120V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in Fig . A . An adapter (see Fig . 2 and 3) is available for connecting Fig . A type
plugs to a two-prong receptacle, except in Canada .
The green-colored rigid ear (or lug) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box .
