GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOLS:
In
the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with
an electric cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in
accord-
ance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the
plug
provided
-if
it
will
not
fit
the outlet, have the proper out-
let installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor 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-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if
the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or
if
in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated
in
Figure A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated
in
Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illus-
trated
in
Figure
B
and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown
in
Figure
B
if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only
until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by
a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc. extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
