3.

Avoid accidental startups. Make sure that tool switch is in the off position before plugging in.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION 

Grounding instructions  

 
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of 
least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped 
with an electric cord that has 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 licensed electrician.  
 
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. 
The conductor with the green insulation (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.
