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 cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equip-
ment-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.
waRNING
• 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
waRNING
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks similar to the one shown in
Sketch B of Figure below. The tool has a grounding plug that looks similar to the plug illustrated in
Sketch A of Figure below. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected
for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service
personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
If permanently connected, this tool should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring sys-
tem; or to a system having an equipment-grounding conductor.
NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.
