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 facil-
ity before use. if the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
Appliances with three prong plugs
Appliances 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.)
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.)
Your appliance 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 following illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
