GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock.
The tool is equipped with a three-conductor cord and
three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper ground-
ing-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 for use on less than 150V, it has a plug that
looks like that shown in Figure 1.
An adapter (see Figure 3) is available for connecting
Figure 1-Type Plug to 2-prong receptacles.
The green colored rigid grounding strap must be con-
nected to permanent ground such as to a properly
grounded outlet box.

cian check connections.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept
the controllers plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
