Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements
(continued)
A temporary adapter may be used to con-
nect this plug to a 2-prong outlet as
shown if a properly grounded three prong
outlet is not available. This temporary
adapter should be used only until a prop-
erly grounded three prong outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug or the like,
extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insula-
tion having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equip-
ment-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.
If the grounding instructions are not com-
pletely understood, or if you are in doubt
as to whether the tool is properly
grounded check with a qualified electri-
cian or service personnel.
WARNING: If not properly
grounded, this tool can cause an
electrical shock, particularly
when used in damp locations, in
proximity to plumbing, or out of
doors. If an electrical shock
occurs there is the potential of a
secondary hazard, such as your
hands contacting the sawblade.
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use
only if you already have a properly
grounded 2-prong outlet.
NOTE: In Canada the use of a temporary
adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
