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 appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding
wire and must be connected to grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has
a grounding plug that looks like plug illustrated in sketch A.
A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated
in sketch B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2
pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid
ear lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used,
it must be held in place by a metal, screw.

WARNING
Improper installation of the
grounding plug can result in a
risk of electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make sure it is of the three-conductor type with NEMA connectors so a continuous grounding circuit is
provided from tool to power circuit receptacle. Also, be sure that the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop
which will cause loss of power. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found below.
For nameplate ampere ratings which are between those given, use the extension cord recommended for the NEXT higher ampere
rating.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffixi W-A following the cord type designation. For example
— SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
