GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with tool. Never remove
the grounding prong from the plug. If the cord or plug is damaged, have it
repaired before using. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. The Holemaker 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 Figure A. If in
doubt of proper grounding, call a qualified electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. See table for the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
