Grounding Instr uctions

Caution: T his tool must be grounded while in use to protect t he oper at or from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least r esist ance for elect r ic
current to r educe the risk of electr ic shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord havi ng an
equipment-gr ounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and gro unded in accorda nce with all loca l codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit t he out le t, have the proper outlet instal led by a qualified
electrician.

Improper connectio n of the equipment-gr ounding conductor can result in a risk of electr ic shock. The
conductor, with insulation ha ving an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-gr ounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipme nt-gr oundi ng co nductor t o a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electricia n or service perso nnel if t he groundi ng instr uctio ns are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extensio n
cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles t hat accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or wor n cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your sander is ready t o r un at 115 volt operat ion. This sander, w hen wired
for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated
in (A). A temporary adapt er, which looks like the adapter as illustrated i n (B), may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole r ecept ac le, as shown in (B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapt er should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. This ad a p ter is n ot applic a ble in C anad a . The green colored rigid ear, lug, or t ab,
extending fr om the adapter, must be connected to a permane nt ground such as a properly gr ounded
outlet box, as shown in (B).
