GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by
a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the
tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See Figure A, next page.)
21. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica
from bricks and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5
et seq.)
22. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s)
before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to
a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached
to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
