SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!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, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICK 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 t the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
green conductor 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 qualied electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, 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
tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
