Grounding

Electrocution or fire may result if this machine is not grounded correctly. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. DO NOT use the machine if it is not grounded.

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. Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. The con- ductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical 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.

This machine must have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug 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.

Extension Cords

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with this machine:

¥Only use a cord that is rated for hard service (Grade S).
