This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE 1. FIGURE 1
shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as
shown in FIGURE 2 can be used to temporarily connect
this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The
adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be
connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS
PROHIBITED
IN CANADA.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical receptacle
in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a
certified electrician check the electrical receptacle.
