Gro~nding Instructions
Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
In the event of a malfunctionor breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equippedwith an electric cord having an
equipment-groundingconductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordancewith all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-groundingconductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-groundingconductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-groundingconductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructionsare not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properlygrounded. Use only three wire extension
cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptaclesthat accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
