GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a
three–conductor cord and three–prong grounding–type plug
to fit the proper grounding–type receptacle. The green (or
green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire
to a live terminal.
If your unit is for use on less than 150V, it has a plug that
looks like that shown in Figure A.
An adapter (see Figure B) is available for connecting

EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
Use extension cord with 16 AWG (1.5 mm
100 ft. (30 m) in length maximum.
Use only 3–wire extension cords that have 3–prong
grounding type plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept
the controllers plug.
Replace damaged extension cords.
