IMPORTANT
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
CAUTION:
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 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 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 replace-
ment of the electric cord or plug 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 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that
accept the tool's plug, as shown.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
CAUTION:
MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE
IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU
ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for you tools. This circuit should not be
less that 14 wire and should be protected with a 20 AMP time lag fuse. If an extension
cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools plug. For distances up to 100 feet
use 12 wire. For distances up to 150 feet use 10 wire. Have a certified electrician
replace or repair damaged or worn cord immediately. Before connecting the motor to
the power line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position and be sure that the
electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on motor nameplate. All line
connections should make good contact. Running low voltage will damage the motor.
