plug. The plug must be plugged into
a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance

proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the

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.
