GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to
protect operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instruc-
tions are not understood or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord rated up to 250V and a 3-prong grounding type
plug rated at 250V (See Figure 5) for your protection
against shock hazards.
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-
nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.

Grounding Pin
:igure 5 - Grounding Methods
Plug must be plugged into a 230V matching outlet (See
Figure 5) that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify
plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or
green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National Electric
Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.
