GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 hav-
ing
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.
The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accord-
ance
with
all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the
plug
provided
-
if
it
will not
fit
the outlet, have the proper out-
let 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 serviceman
if
the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or
if
in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated
in
Figure
A.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated
in
Figure
A. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illus-
trated in Figure
B
and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in Figure B
if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only
until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by
a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug,
etc. extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
