liquids or
vapors. This product is not intended for instal-
lation or use in a commercial garage or shop

Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with an ap-
propriate grounding plug. (See the figure below.)
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Check with
a qualified electrician
or service personnel if
these instructions are not completely
understood
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.

Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock, If repair or replace-
ment of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal,

grounding wire, Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not
completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded, Do not modify
the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician,
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts and is factory-equipped
with
a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter should be
used with this product. If the product must be reconnected

Extension
Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Cords
