• GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: In the event of a malfunctions or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an
electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yel-
low stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or re-
placement of the electric 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 instruc-
tions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately
• THIS TOOL IS INTENDED FOR USE ON A CIRCUIT THAT HAS AN
OUTLET THAT LOOKS LIKE THE ONE ILLUSTRATED IN FIGURE
A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter il-
lustrated in figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
