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 –
2.
if it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
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.
Check with a qualified electrician or
4.
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

3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn

cord immediately.
