Item 69924 

Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM 

INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: 

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 tool.  Never remove the grounding prong from 

the plug.  Do not use the tool 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 Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

1.  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 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 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

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 tool’s grounding 

system and must never be attached to an electrically 

“live” terminal.  

(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

3.  The tool 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 preceding illustration.   

(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

1.  Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not 

require grounding.  They have a special 

double insulation system which satisfies OSHA 

requirements and complies with the applicable 

standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., 

the Canadian Standard Association, 

and the National Electrical Code.

2.  Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 

120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.
