Grounding
Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs
Tools marked with
Grounding Required
have a 3-wire cord and 3-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 Figure A.)
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 Figure A.)
Your 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 following illustration.
