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 3- PRONG PLUGS
1. Tools marked with "Grounding Required" have a 3-wire cord and 3-pronggrounding 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.)
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 electri-
cally "live" terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordi-
nances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)
