Electrical Requirements
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
a matching outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green 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.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug*.
• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
• This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks the one illustrated in Figure
A below. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the grounding plug as illustrated in Figure
A below. A temporary adapter, which locks like the adapter as illustrated in Figures B below,
may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.** The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear or tab,
extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
** Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
