GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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 conductor can result In a
risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green 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 qualified 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.
