An adapter as illustrated is available for connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extend- ing from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

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

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is not approved recom- mended for use in CANADA . Use an approved 3- prong receptacle.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only a single cord when an extension cord is required. The cord must be a 3 wire extension cord which has a 3- prong receptacle that will accept the tool’s plug.
