ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols
should be followed at all times!
In case 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 connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface that is green, with or
without yellow stripes. 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 a damaged or worn cord immediately
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of the
table below. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the table below. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, 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. 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.
Note: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be used
on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this power tool.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections
and should be used for this measure of safety.
When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed
closest to the power source, followed by the extension cord
and lastly, the saw.
