1. Tools marked with "Grounding Requirement" 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 attracted 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).
1. Tools 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 Standards Association,
and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets
shown in the illustration to the left (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug).
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.
