GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This toot is
equipped with an electric cord that has 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 an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (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 you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the toot is properly grounded.
USE ONLY EXTENSION CORDS that have
3-pronged plugs. Only plug into 3-pronged outlets
that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
