Grounding
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved three-
conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow)
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green
(or green and yellow wire to a live terminal.
If your unit is intended for use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug
similar to that shown in Figure A. An adapter, Figures B and C, is
available for connecting Figure A plugs to two-prong receptacles.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
ADAPTER SHOWN IN FIGURES B and C IS NOT FOR USE IN
CANADA.
