GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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.
Do not modify the plug provided - 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 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 have
3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.

an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in (A)
below. The tool has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in (A) in A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated
in (B) and (C), may be used to connect this
plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in (B) if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not
applicable in Canada. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
