I,k_. WARNING]

This tool is for indoor use only. Do

not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

This tool is intended for use on a

circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle.

The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.

la, CAUTION]

In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.
