GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
INTHE EVENT OFA MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the riskof electricshock, This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a groundingplug, The plug
MUST be plugged intoa matching receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded inaccordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFYTHE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not
fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
bya 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
yellowstripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cordor plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK witha qualified electrician or service person if
you do not completety understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
USE A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT for your
tools. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire and
shouldbe protected with a 15 Amp timedelay fuse.
Before connecting the motor to the power line, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric
current is rated the same as the current stamped on the
motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage witl
damage the motor.
This toolis intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A. FIGURE A
shows a 3-preng electrical plug and receptacle that hasa
groundingconductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is
notavailable, an adapter (FIGURE B) can be used to
temporarilyconnect this plug toa 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The temporary adapter should be used only
untila properly grounded receptacle can be installed by
a qualified technician.The adapter (FIGURE B) has a
rigidlug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits
the use of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is
properly grounded. If you are not sure have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle. : [IKI] =111_._!q_-VAtLJ.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
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.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extensioncord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product willdraw. An undersized cord will
resultin a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which
willcause the tool to overheat. The table below shows the
correctsize to use depending oncord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the nextheavier
gauge.The smaller thegauge number, theheavier the
cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition.Always replace a damaged extensioncord
or have it repaired by a qualifiedperson before using it.
Protectyour extension cords from sharp objects,
excessiveheat and damp or wet areas.
This tool must be grounded while inuse to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
