GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes ad ordinances.

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

This machine is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.

If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Figure

shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Figure be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact grounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded receptacle can be installed by a qualified technician. The adapter (Figure MUST be connected to a permanent ground, such as a pro-perly grounded receptacle box. The Canadian Electri-cal Code prohibits the use of these adapters.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green insulation (with or without 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.
