(Mfg. since 1/12)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

For 110V operation: This machine is equipped
with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-
ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-
ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-
ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

For 220V operation: The plug specified under
“Circuit Requirements for 220V” on the previous
page has a grounding prong that must be attached
to the equipment-grounding wire on the included
power cord. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (see following figure) that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

SHOCK HAZARD!

Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding

requirements for this machine. Do not modify

or use an adapter on the plug provided—if

it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified

electrician install the proper outlet with a

verified ground.
