GROUNDING

TO PREVENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND DEATH FROM

INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not

modify the power cord plug

provided with the tool. Never

remove the grounding prong

from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug

is damaged. If damaged, have

it repaired by a service facility

before use. If the plug will not

fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three

Prong Plugs

1.

This Tile Saw comes with a

3-prong power cord.

2.

Tools marked with “Grounding

Required” have a three wire cord

and three prong grounding plug.

The plug must be connected to a

properly grounded outlet. If the tool

should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a

low resistance path to carry electricity

away from the user, reducing the risk

of electric shock.

(See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

3.

The grounding prong in the plug

is connected through the green

wire inside the cord to the ground-

ing system in the tool. The green

wire in the cord must be the only wire

connected to the tool’s grounding

system and must never be attached

to an electrically “live” terminal.

(See

3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

4.

The tool must be plugged into

an appropriate outlet, properly

installed and grounded in accor-

dance with all codes and ordinanc-

es. The plug and outlet should look

like those in the preceding illustration.

(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Double Insulated Tools: Tools

with Two Prong Plugs

1.

Tools marked “Double Insulated”

do not require grounding. They

have a special double insulation

system which satisfies OSHA require-

ments and complies with the applica-

ble standards of Underwriters Labo-

ratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard

Association, and the National Electri-

cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong

Plug.)
