THINSTOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHmLE mNUSE
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRmC
SHOCK.
mNTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTmON OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of bast resistance
for eUectric current and reduces the risk of eUectric
shock. This tooUis equipped with an eUectric cord that
has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a ground-
ing pUug. The pUugMUST be pUugged into a matching
eUectricaUreceptacle that is properUy installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL bcaU codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED, if it wHU not
fit the eUectrbaUreceptacb, have the proper eUectrbaU
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 if repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary.
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.
The motor supplied with your Mortiser is a 120°volt,
singb-phase
motor. It is shipped wired for 120°volt
application.
Never connect the green wire to a live
terminal.
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 1. FIGURE 1
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 2 can be used to temporarily connect
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 Mortiser is for indoor use only, Do not expose to
rain or use in damp locations,
