GROUNDING
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND
DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING:
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.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
