GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  All grounded, cord-connected tools:

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 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.
