GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facil-
ity before use. If the plug will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualied electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in
the cord must be the only wire connected to the
tool’s grounding system and must never be at-
tached to an electrically “live” terminal.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet, properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all codes and ordinances. The plug
