GROUNDING
Your planer must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly
grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This planer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

The use of an extension cord is generally not recommended for 220V-240V
operation. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use
the table (Fig.2) to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire
Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have
3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s
plug.
