GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• FOR 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 serviceman 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.
