GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK
AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT
GROUNDING WIRE
CONNECTION
READ AND FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS:
110-120 V~ Grounded Tools: Tools
with Three Prong Plugs
1. 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.
2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s
plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
