Grounding Instructions For Tools
With Three Prong Plugs
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.
Connection To A
Power Source
This machine
must be grounded
while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type outlet
protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.
shown and always connect the grounding lug to known ground.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. 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 service personnel if the
grounding
instructions
are not completely
understood,
or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
It is recommended
that you have a qualified electrician replace
the TWO-prong
outlet with a properly grounded THREE-prong
outlet.
Not all outlets are properly grounded.
If you are not sure that
your outlet, as pictured
below, is properly grounded;
have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch the metal
prongs on the plug when installing or removing
the plug to or from the outlet.
Failure to properly ground this power tool can
cause
electrocution
or
serious
shock,
particularly
when used near metal plumbing
or other metal
objects. If shocked, your reaction could cause your hands to hit
the tool.
If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, have it replaced
immediately
to avoid
shock or fire hazard.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts; it has a plug that looks like the
one below.
O
3-PRONG PLUG
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs to
2-prong receptacles.
The green grounding
lug extending
from the
adapter
must be connected
to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

OUTLET
This power tool is equipped
with a 3-conductor
cord and
grounding
type plug, approved
by Underwriters
Laboratories
and the Canadian Standards Association. The ground conductor
has a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end
and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type outlet as
shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the
two-prong
type,
DO
NOT
REMOVE
OR ALTER
THE
GROUNDING
PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an adapter as
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have
a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle. Adapter is not allowed
in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To
keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor
burn-out, use the table below to determine
the minimum wire
size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords
which
have 3-prong
grounding
type
plugs
and 3-pole
receptacles which accept the tool's plug.
