GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit in the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment 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.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service person if you do
not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you
are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-prong plugs and 3-prong outlets that accept
the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE OUTLET IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS, HAVE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK
THE OUTLET.
