This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and grounding type plug, approved by Underwriters' Labora-

tories and the Canadian Standards Association. The ground

conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool hous=

ing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.

This plug requires a mating 3-conducto{ grounded type out- let as shown.

If the outlet you are planning to Use for this power tool is

of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER

THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER, Use an adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to known ground.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE prong outlet.

A temporary adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugsto 2-prong receptacles. The green ground- ing lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a

permanent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet box,

A temporary adapter as illustrated is available for connecting

plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The temporary adapter should

be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-

heating and motor burn-out; use the table below to deter- mine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use

only 3 wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools

plug.
