GROUNDING

NOTE: This tool requires the installation of a 3-prong 230 VAC, polarized twistlock power cord plug

(not included). The plug must be installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure A below.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. 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, reduc-
ing the risk of electric shock.

(See Figure A.)

2. 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 Figure A.)

3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed

by a certified electrician

and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration.

(See Figure A.)

WARNING! Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.

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.
