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 facility 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
1. 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.)
2. 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.)
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look
like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding.
They have a special double insulation system which satis-
fies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian
Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
(See Figure B.)
5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt
outlets shown in the following illustration. (See Figure B.)
NOTE: The 93334 Wet Saw uses a grounded three-prong plug.
