110-120 volt, 60Hz Tool Information

The plug supplied on your tool may not
fit into the outlet you are planning to use.
Your local electrical code may require
slightly different power cord plug connec-
tions. If these differences exist refer to
and make the proper adjustments per
you local code before your tool is
plugged in and turned on.
In the event of a malfunction or break-
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical 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, as shown. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
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.

Extension Cords

1. The air compressor should be located

If the grounding instructions are not com-
pletely understood, or if you are in doubt
as to whether the tool is properly ground-
ed check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel.
WARNING:
!
If not properly grounded, this
tool can cause an electrical
shock, particularly when used
in damp locations, in proximity
of plumbing, or out of doors.
