GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
Note: The Light has a Three Prong Plug.
1.
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding
plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the Light
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
(See Figure A.)
2.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to
the Light’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
(See Figure A.)
3.
A grounded appliance must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration.
(See Figure A.)

DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCES: APPLIANCES WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
1.
Appliances marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double
insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the
National Electrical Code.
(See Figure B.)
2.
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following
illustration.
