Risk Of Fire Or Explosion
This product incorporates snap action switch
contacts and a universal electric motor which
tend to produce arcs and sparking and therefore
should not be exposed to flammable liquids or
vapors. This product is not intended for instal-
lation or use in a commercial garage or shop

Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with an ap-
propriate grounding plug. (See the figure below.)
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. Check with
a qualified electrician or service personnel if
these instructions are not completely understood
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.

ment of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal,

Extension Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will
