Do not modify plug provided—if it will not fit the outlet, have the properoutlet installed by a qualified electrician.Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electricshock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or withoutyellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electriccord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a liveterminal.Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are notcompletely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptaclesthat accept the tool’s plug.Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated inFigure A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. Atemporary adapter, which looks the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used toconnect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet isnot available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet canbe installed by a qualified electrician.
