Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately. This power tool is intended for use on a circuit with
an receptacle similar to the one illustrated in sketch A, Fig. 4. A temporary adapter, similar to the one
illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect the power tool plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in sketch B in case a properly grounded receptacle is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded receptacle has been installed by
a qualified electrician. The green-colored grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
WARNING:
Always connect the power tool to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system: or to
a system having an equipment-grounding conductor.

NOTE:
The lower the wire size number, the heavier the wire, and the farther it will carry current
without a voltage drop. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
