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. The plug

adapter illustrated in Figure 7, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as
shown in Figure 7, if a properly grounded
