Tools 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 tool should electri-
cally malfunction or break down, grounding pro-
vides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
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 tool’s
grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
(See
3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
