GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into 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 a qualified electrician. Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is green 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 the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
