110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information

NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet you are planning to use. Your local electrical code may require slightly different power cord plug connections. If these differences exist refer to and make the proper adjustments per your local code before your tool is plugged in and turned on.

In the event of a malfunction or break- down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce

the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor- dance with all local codes and ordi- nances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
