27, USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD

CONDITION, When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw, Please see minimum recom- mended gauge for extension cords (AWG) table for correct sizing of an extension cord, if in doubt, use

the next heavier gauge,

THINSTOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHmLEmNUSE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRmC SHOCK.

mNTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTmON OR BREAK- DOWN, grounding provides the path of bast resistance

for eUectriccurrent and reduces the risk of eUectric shock. This tooUis equipped with an eUectric cord that

has an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground- ing pUug.The pUugMUST be pUugged into a matching eUectricaUreceptacle that is properUy installed and grounded in accordance with ALL bcaU codes and

ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED, if it wHUnot fit the eUectrbaUreceptacb, have the proper eUectrbaU receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip° ment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric

shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

The motor supplied with your Mortiser is a 120°volt, singb-phase motor. It is shipped wired for 120°volt

application. Never connect the green wire to a live terminal.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3=PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.

REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD

IMMEDIATELY.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE 1. FIGURE 1

shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded

electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as shown in FIGURE 2 can be used to temporarily connect

this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be

connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS

PROHIBITED IN CANADA.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are

not sure have a certified electrician check the electrical receptacle.
