IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely under-stand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE

A. FIGURE A shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as shown in FIGURE B can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle.

The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded recep tacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN

CANADA.

THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN

USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR

BREAKDOWN , grounding provides the 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 electrical receptacle 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 the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
