protect the operator from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or
green and yellow) conductor in the cord is
the grounding wire. Never connect the green
(or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
If your unit is for use on less than 150V, it
has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch
(A). If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a
plug that looks like that shown in sketch (D).
An adapter, see sketches (B) and (C), is
availablefor connecting sketch(A) type plugs
to a 2-prong receptacles, except in Canada.
