Grounding instructions

WARNING: The sander must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. Make sure that the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure the receptacle is grounded, have a certified electrician check for proper grounding

•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 have a new outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment ground-

ing 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 type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the plug, as shown in Figure 6.

•Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

•This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one shown in Figure 6.

•A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 7, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure 7, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
