If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground
fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device
is a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.
Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which
cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Note: Performance of this tool (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on varia-
tions in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified 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 Figure A.)
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 attached to
an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
