GROUNDING
WARNING! 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 product. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the product 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 PRODUCT:
PRODUCTS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Products marked with "Grounding Required" have
a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug.
The plug must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet. If the product 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 product's grounding system and must
never be attached to an electrically "live" terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. Your product must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should
look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

EXTENSION CORDS

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use
either a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious
drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible product damage. (See
Figure C.)
3. The smaller the gauges number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For
example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See
Figure C.)
4. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician
before using it.
5. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet
areas.
