GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Impro”.erconnectiont)of equipment 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 qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not under
stood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated at 300V and a
3-prong grounding type plug (See Figure 2) for your protection against shock
hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly installed and
grounded 3-prong grounding type receptacle as shown in Figure 2.
Do not remove or alterg rounding prongin
any manner. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown , groundin g provides a
path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit finminals of plug when installing or removing
from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching out let that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and or dinances. Do not modify
plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper out let installed by
a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by an autho
rized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding wire. If 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
properl y grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in a c cordance with National
Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
A tempo rary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter ( See Figure 3) 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 prop-erly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded
wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not properly
grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means must be tested by a
qualified electrician. EXTENSION CORDS
- The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss of power.
- Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
- Use the table to determine the mini-mum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
- Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
- If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, replace it immediately.
