GROUND(NG (NSTRUCT(ONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR

BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of

electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipmentogrounding conductor and a grounding p(ug. The p(ug must be plugged into a matching receptac(e that is proper(y instal(ed

and grounded in accordance with al! local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. if it will not

fit the receptacle, have the proper receptac(e insta((ed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The

conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. (f repair or replacement of the e(ectric cord or plug is

necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not comp(ete(y understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the too( is properly grounded.

USE only 3°wire extension cords that have 3°pronged grounding p(ugs and 3°pole receptac(es that accept the too('splug. Repair or rep(ace damaged or worn cords immediate(y.

GU(DELINES FOR EXTENS(ON CORDS

USE THE PROPER EXTENS(ON CORD. Make sure

your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord wiil cause a drop in (ine vo(tage resu(ting in (oss of power and overheating. The table on the right shows the correct size to use depending on cord (ength and namep(ate ampere rating. )f in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always rep(ace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate e(ectrica( circuit for your too(. This circuit must not be (ess than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 amp time de(ay fuse. Before connecting the

motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the e(ectric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage wi(( damage the motor. This too( is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one i(Justrated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 shows a 3-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptac(e is not avai(abJe, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2ocontact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid (ug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box. The Canadian EJectrica( Code prohibits the use of adapters.

CAUT)ON

tn a(( cases, make certain the receptac(e is proper(y grounded. If you are not sure, have a qua)ified e(ectHc)an check the receptac)e.

CAUT(ON

This too( is for indoor use on)y. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
