iNcOrrEct GrOuNDiNG WirE cONNEctiON:
check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. if damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility before use. if the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
Grounded tools: tools with three prong plugs
3-prong plug and Outlet
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 tool 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 3-prong plug and Outlet.)
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 tool’s grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
(See 3-prong plug and Outlet.)
3.
The tool 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
preceding illustration.
(See 3-prong plug and Outlet.)
