SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG. If it will not fit the electrical
receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded when installing or replacing a plug.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG. *
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 110 volt
electrical receptacle. FIGURE 1 shows the type of the 110v,
3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has a
grounding conductor that is required.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to
be certified SJT type or better.
** The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
EXTENSION CORDS
Keep the extension cord clear of the
working area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while
you are working with a power tool.
Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool
with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious
injury.
Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Figure 1
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor. The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL REQUIRES A 3-PRONG 110V RECEPTICAL,
AND MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO
PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
THIS SYMBOL DESIGNATES THAT
THIS TOOL IS LISTED BY THE
INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES,
TO UNITED STATES AND
CANADIAN STANDARDS.
