electric current to reduce the risk of electric 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.

not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

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.

personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.

receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
