This product should be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER:
Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of
the cord is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The wire with GREEN insulation
with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has
a three-prong grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1. A temporary adapter similar to the
adapter illustrated in Figure 1-B may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure 1-B when
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter shall be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Figure 1-A) is installed by a qualified electrician. Tab for
grounding screw, lug, or similar part extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
The use of a GFCI outlet is strongly recommended. The
third prong is to be used to ground the tool and provide
protection against electrical shock. Never remove the third
prong.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
