GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with
the product. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
product if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by
a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED PRODUCT: PRODUCTS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Products marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three
prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet. If the product should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing
the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the product’s grounding system and must never be
attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. Your product must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)
