GENERAL SAFETY RULES

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an 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 will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (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.

CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instruc-
tions or whether the tool is properly grounded.

USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged
plugs and outlets that accept the tool’s plug as shown on the right. Repair or
replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly ground-
ed. If you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
