Grounding Instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for electric current and reduces 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 does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair/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 personnel if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions or if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS with 3-prong plugs and 3-prong outlets that
accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a 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 licensed electrician check the outlet.
