SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved three-conductor cord
and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type
receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal.
If your unit is for use on less than 150
Volts, the power cord is equipped
with a plug that has two flat, parallel
current-carrying prongs and one
longer, round or “U”-shaped, ground
prong which requires a mating 3-
conductor grounded type receptacle,
as shown in Fig. A.
An adapter, shown in Fig. B, is
available for connecting 3-prong
grounding type plugs that are used on
units less than 150 Volts to 2-prong
receptacles. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT
ALLOWED IN CANADA. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, etc., must be
connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet
box, as shown in Fig. B.
If your unit is for use on 150 to 250
Volts, the power cord is equipped
with a plug that has two flat current
carrying prongs in tandem, and one
round or “U”-shaped, longer ground
prong, as shown in Fig. C. This plug is
used only with the proper mating 3-
conductor grounding type receptacle,
as shown in Fig. C. No adapter is
available for this type plug.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG FROM POWER PLUG.
EXTENSION CORDS
