Grounding & Plug Requirements

This system MUst be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This system is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground- ing plug (similar to the figure below). The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

SHOCK HAZARD!

Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding requirements for this machine. Do not modify or use an adapter on the plug provided—if it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified electrician install the proper outlet with a verified ground.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec- essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per- sonnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon- nect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this tool. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten tool life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this tool must con- tain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size	16 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better)	50 ft.
