GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipement 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 qualifed electrician if grounding instruction are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
•
This grinder is equiped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated at 115V
and a 3-prong, grounding type plug (see figure 1) for your protection
against shock hazards.
Figure 1 - 3-Prong Receptacle
•
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly installed and
grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle (see figure 1).
•
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 terminals of plug when
installing or removing from outlet.
•
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not
modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed

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.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see figure 2) is available for
connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly grounded.
Figure 2 - 2-Prong receptacle
•
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see figure 2) is
available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly
grounded.
•
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permitted by
local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in Canada.) Where
permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be
securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly
grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire
system.
•
Many cover plate screws, water pipe and outlet boxes are not properly
grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means must be tested by
a qualified electrician.
