the motor. This tool is intended for use
on a circuit that has a receptacle like
the one illustrated in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical
plug and receptacle that has a
grounding conductor. If a properly
grounded receptacle is not available,
an adapter (sold separately) (Fig. 2)
can be used to temporarily connect
this plug to a two-contact grounded
receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth
ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.
CAUTION
●
In all cases, make certain the
receptacle is properly grounded. If
you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.
