MK Diamond MK1070 - Manual (Page 10)

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for 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.
• Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment - grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with the 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.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3- prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately. See Table 1 for
proper extension cord gage requirements.

Warning
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like
the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only 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 adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.
Additionally, the water pump requires the use of a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter. Therefore, when using the water pump, plugged into the
motor receptacle, this tool must be plugged into a properly installed and
grounded Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet, like the one illustrated
in Sketch D in Figure 1. If a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet is
not available, MK Diamond has available, as an accessory item, a plug
- in Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter that may be plugged into a properly
installed and grounded 3-pole outlet. See Sketch E in Figure 1.
