Grounding Instructions

WARNING:	Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply power
	before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal
	injury. Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for the safe installation
	of this equipment.

1.All grounded, cord−connected grinders:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This grinder is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment−grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment−grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The “Green” insulated wire (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment−grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord is necessary, do not connect the equipment−grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only 3−wire extension cords that have 3−prong grounding plugs and 3−pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2.Grounded, cord−connected grinders intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts.
