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.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less

than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in

Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary

adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole

receptacle as shown in Sketch C 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. This adapter is not applicable in

Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a

permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

3. Grounded, cord- connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating

between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch D in

Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch D in Figure 1. Make sure the tool

is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with

this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be

made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and

ordinances.

4. Permanently connected tools:

This tool should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to a system having an equipment-

grounding conductor.
