GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical
shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
receptacle 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 the receptacle, have the
proper receptacle 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 electrical
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly
grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs
with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace
of the grinding wheel.
34. Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only one edge and dressed
up slightly on the other. Perform this sharpening process on both cutting
ends of the blade. After sharpening, balance the blade by removing
additional material.
