Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM
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”.)
