ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding Instructions
1. IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path
of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This
tool/equipment 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.
2. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by an electrician.
3. 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 licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool/equipment is properly grounded.
4.
USE ONLY THREE WIRE EXTENSION CORDS with have 3-prong plugs and 3-prong
outlets that accept the tool/equipment’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
WARNING: In all cases, make certain the outlet is properly grounded. If you are not
sure if it is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
