General Power Tool Safety Warnings; Grounding Instructions - Performax SKU 240-2972 Instrucciones De Operación Y Seguridad

WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemical: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: This product can expose
you to chemicals including lead,
phthalate or bisphenol A which are known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.

A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 a 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
4
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 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 plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
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 150V:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Sketch A in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch
A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks
like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C,
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in Sketch 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.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between 150-250V, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Sketch D in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch
D in Figure 1. Make sure the tool is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter is available or should
be used with this tool. If the tool must be
reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and after
reconnection, the tool should comply with all
local codes and ordinances.
4. Permanently connected tools:
This tool should be connected to a grounded
metal permanent wiring system; or to a system
having an equipment-grounding conductor.
