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
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong 1.
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.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the 2.
cord to the grounding 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.)
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and ground- 3.
ed in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look
like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
