SAFETY

Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from

the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

SETUP

OPERATION

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

	3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
	properly installed and grounded in accordance with
	all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should
3-Prong Plug and Outlet	look like those in the preceding illustration.
	(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

1.Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.

If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

MAINTENANCE

Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), which protects you against shock if a short circuit should occur. Check that the receptacle is properly grounded and test the GFCI before each use.

1.Plug the GFCI Power Plug into a grounded, 120 VAC electrical outlet.

2.Press the TEST button. The GFCI indicator light will go out and power to the machine should cut off.

3.WARNING! If the light does not go out when test button is pushed, equipment should not be used until proper repairs can be made.

4.To restore power after test, push the reset button. WARNING! If the machine doesn’t start,

stops while running, or if you experience a mild shock, do not use the machine. Have it repaired or replaced by a licensed electrician.

Note: The Power Cord is not GFCI protected from the GFCI unit to the 3-prong plug in the electrical outlet.
