GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. 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.

Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
2.
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the
following illustration.
(See Figure A.)

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
