GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
ground type plug which has a grounding prong ap-

proved by Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian

Standards Association.

Do not remove or' alter' the grounding prong in any
manner° In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electri-
cal current to reduce the risk of electrical shock

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 In the

outlet, have the proper' outlet installed by a qualified

electrictan_ improper connection of equipment-ground-
ing conductor can result in a rlsk of electrical shock.
