Grounding

CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro- vides 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 equip- ment-grounding conductor. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Figure 2.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor 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.

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

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

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi- ately.
