In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor. A plug with a grounding pin must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical grounding con- ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cords imme- diately.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten- sion cords.

If you must use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (Grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in the safety instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool plug. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or dam- aged.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your bandsaw. These requirements are not nec- essarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
