Inthe eventofa malfunction or breakdown, grounding
providesa pathof leastresistanceforelectricalshock.
WARNING: Do not permitfingers to touchthe termi-
nals of plug when insertingor removingfrom outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matchingoutlet that is
properly installedand groundedin accordance with
all localcodes and ordinances.Do not modifyplug
provided.If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed bya qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cordsperiodically,and if damaged, have
repaired byan authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow)conductorin cord isthe
groundingwire. If repair or replacement of the elec-
tric cord or plug is necessary,do not connect the
green (or green and yellow)wire to a live terminal.
• A 2-prong wall receptacle mustbe replaced with a
properly grounded3-prong receptacle installedin
accordance with National Electric Code and local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Any receptacle replacement shouldbe
performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-pronggroundingadapter (see
Figure 10) is available for connecting plugs to a two
pole outlet if it isproperly grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong groundingadapter
unless permitted by local and nationalcodes and
ordinances.(A 3-prong to 2-prong groundingadapter
is not permittedin Canada.)
Where a 3-prongto 2-preng groundingadapter is
permitted, the rigidgreen tab or terminal on the side
of the adapter mustbe securely connected to a
permanent electricalground such as a propedy
groundedwater pipe, a propedy groundedoutletbox
or a properlygroundedwire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properlygrounded.To ensure proper
ground, groundingmeans mustbe tested bya quali-
fied electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extensioncord will cause some drop
in voltage and lossof power.
• Wires of the extension cord mustbe of sufficientsize
to carry the currentand maintainadequate voltage.
• The minimumextension cord wire size isA.W.G. 12.
Do not use extension cords over 25 feet long.
• Use only 3-wire extensioncords having3-prong
groundingtype plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extensioncord isworn, cutor damaged in any
way, replaceit immediately.
