Electrical Connections and Grounding
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and has a
grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in
Fig 7. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be
used with this appliance.
> Do NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
> Do NOT use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance
is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a
service center.
> Do NOT pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle,
close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges
or corners. Do NOT run appliance over cord. Keep
cord away from heated surfaces.
> Do NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
> Do NOT handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
> If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time-delay fuses, marked Type D, with this appliance.
> Make sure the Main Power Switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power source.
> The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to position
the machine near the power source. If an extension cord
is necessary, use only three-wire extension cords that
have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
> Extension cords in poor condition or that are too small
can pose fire and shock hazards. When using an
extension cord, be sure it is in good condition
and properly rated.
