7. Electrical Requirements

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into a matching outlet 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 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.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to

whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
