Grounding Instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with an electric cord that has 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.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal if
repair/replacement of the electric cord/plug is necessary.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions or if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS with three-prong plugs and three-prong
outlets as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not
sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
WARNING: This saw is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp
locations.
