GROUNDING
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in
electric shock.

whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong 1.
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 2.
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 attached
to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and 3.
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration.
