WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE TOOL UNTIL YOU HAVE
READ THOROUGHLY, AND UNDERSTAND
COMPLETELY, ALL INSTRUCTIONS, RULES,
ETC. ON THIS PAGE, AND IN THE OPERATING
MANUAL. WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BA-
SIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PERSONAL INJURY,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, 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 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 the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The green
conductor with or without yellow stripes is the equip-
ment-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 qualified electrician or service personnel
if the grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tools plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
