2. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

A. All grounded, cord-connected tools; In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro

vides 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. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with Insulation having an outer surface that is green with or with out yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR POWER TOOLS

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A In Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc. extending from the adapter must be con

nected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
