Grounding Instructions
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from elec-
tric shock. The tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong
grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type 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. If your unit is
intended for use on less than 150 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in
sketch A. If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that
shown in sketch D. An adapter, sketches B and C, is available for connecting
sketch A type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug,
or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a
plug as shown in sketch D. ADAPTER SHOWN IN FIGURES B and C IS NOT
FOR USE IN CANADA.
