RIKON Power Tools 70-425 - Manual (Page 11)

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 three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.*
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks the one illustrated in Figure A below. The tool has a grounding plug
that looks like the grounding plug as illustrated in Figure A below.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
** Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
