110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information
NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool
may not fit into the outlet you are planning
to use. Your local electrical code may
require slightly different power cord plug
connections. If these differences exist
refer to and make the proper adjustments
per your local code before your tool is
plugged in and turned on.
In the event of a malfunction or break-
down, 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 having an
equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug, as shown. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
