SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: THIS TOOL SHOULD BE
GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
The tool
is equipped with an approved three-conductor
cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit
the proper grounding 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 150 Volts, the
power cord is equipped with a plug that has two
flat, parallel current-carrying prongs and one
longer, round or “U”-shaped, ground prong which
requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
receptacle, as shown in Fig. 1.
An adapter, shown in Fig. 2, is available for
connecting 3-prong grounding type plugs that are
used on units less than 150 Volts to 2-prong
receptacles. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED
IN CANADA. The green colored rigid ear, lug, etc.,
must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in
Fig. 2.
If your unit is for use on 150 to 250 Volts, the
power cord is equipped with a plug that has two
flat current carrying prongs in tandem, and one
round or “U”-shaped, longer ground prong, as
shown in Fig. 3. This plug is used only with the
proper mating 3-conductor grounding type
receptacle, as shown in Fig. 3. No adapter is
available for this type plug.
WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
