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-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.
Extension Cords
WARNING
Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock,
burn or electrocute.
WARNING
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors
should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of the tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA
listed extension cords.
