RIKON Power Tools 80-805 - Manual (Page 8)

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.
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 an electrical receptacle as shown in
FIGURE A. FIGURE A shows a 3-wire
electrical plug and electrical receptacle that
has a grounding conductor. If a properly
grounded electrical receptacle is not
available, an adapter as shown in FIGURE B
can be used to temporarily connect this plug
to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The
adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that
MUST be connected to a permanent earth
ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS
PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
17. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform
an operation for which it was not designed. It
will do a safer and higher quality job by only
performing operations for which the tool was
intended.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE
IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
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 and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged
into a matching electrical receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have
the proper electrical receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
