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 in-
stalled and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances. Do not modify the plug provided-if it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Im-
proper 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 re-
placement 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 immedi-
ately. See Table 1. Minimum Gauge Cords below.
• 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 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 illustrated in Figures B and C,
may be used (except in Canada) 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
qualified electrician can install a properly grounded outlet. 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. See Fig. 1. Grounding methods below.
• Grounded cord-connected tools intended for use on a sup-
ply circuit having a nominal rating between 150-250 volts
inclusive: See Table 1. Minimum Gauge Cords below.
