GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor 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.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have
3-prong plugs and 3-prong outlets that accept the
tool’s plug as shown in
Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged
or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION:
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS, HAVE A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
