IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that
has an equipment grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not
fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
of the equip-
ment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE A. FIGURE A
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 B can be used to temporarily con-
nect 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.
This Bench Grinder is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
