Grounding Instructions - Porter Cable POCKET CUTTER 552 Manual De Instrucciones

1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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 replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instruc
tions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is pr
operly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
matching 3-conductor receptacles that
accept the tool's plug, as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2.
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended
for use on a supply circuit having a
nominal rating less than 150 volts:
If the tool is intended for use on a circuit
that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Fig. A, the tool will have a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be
used to connect this plug to a matching 2-
conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the
like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box. When
ever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place with a metal screw. NOTE: In
Canada, the use of a temporary adapter
is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
