GROUNDING
1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. The conductor with
the green outer insulation (with or without a yellow stripe), is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electrical cord is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if there
is doubt as to whether the machine in properly grounded.
5. Using only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
7. Your unit is for use on less than 150 volts and it has a plug that looks Fig. “A”
8. This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one in illustration (A). The machine
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in illustration (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter in il-
lustration (B) and (C), may be used to connect the plug to a two pole receptacle, as shown in illustration (B), if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be in-
stalled by a qualified electrician .The green coloured rigid ear plug and the like
extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: The type of electrical plug and receptacle differs from country to country.
CAUTION: In Canada, only the grounding shown in figure (A) is acceptable. The extension cord should be a CSA
certified S.J.T. type or something better.
CAUTION: In Australia, only the grounding shown in figure (D) is acceptable. The extension
cord should be SSA certified.
