GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved three-conductor cord and three- prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

If your unit is for use on less than 150 Volts, the power cord is equipped with a plug that has two flat, parallel current-carrying prongs and one longer, round or U -shaped, ground prong which requires a mating 3- conductor grounded type receptacle, as shown in Fig. 1.

An adapter, shown in Fig. 2, is available for connecting 3-prong grounding type plugs that are used on units less than 150 Volts to 2-prong receptacles. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. The green colored rigid ear, lug, etc., must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in Fig. 2.

If your unit is for use on 150 to 250 Volts, the power cord is equipped with a plug that has two flat current carrying prongs in tandem, and one round or U -shaped, longer ground prong, as shown in Fig. 3. This plug is used only with the proper mating 3- conductor grounding type receptacle, as shown in Fig. 3. No adapter is available for this type plug.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
