SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never
remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is
damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Figure A: 3-Prong Plug and Outlet
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required”
have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected
to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool
should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing
the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is
connected through the green wire inside
the cord to the grounding system in the tool.
The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an
electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet, properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances.
The plug and outlet should look like those in
the preceding illustration. (See Figure A.)
Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Figure B: Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not
require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies OSHA
requirements and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
the Canadian Standard Association,
and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in
either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the
preceding illustration. (See Figure B.)
