GROUNDING
WARNING
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH
FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING:
Check with a quali ed electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the
tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged.
If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before
If the plug will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a quali ed electrician.
GROUNDING TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG
PLUGS
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
1.
Tools marked with "Grounding Required" have a three wire
cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should
electronically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See
3-Prong Plug and Outlet)
2.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the
green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the
tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire
connected to the tool's grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically "live" terminal. (See 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet)
3.
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look
like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug
and Outlet)
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO
PRONG PLUGS
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1.
Tools marked with "Double Insulated" do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation system
which satis es OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc., the Canadian Standards Association, and the
National Electrical Code.
2.
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120
volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug)
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
1.
Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire
extension cord.
2.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must
use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords
with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. (See Table A)
3.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can
carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A)
4.
When using more than one extension cord to make up the
total length, make sure each cord contains at least the
minimum wire size required. (See Table A)
5.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool,
add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum cord size. (See Table A)
6.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is
marked with the suf x "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate
it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7.
Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a quali ed electrician before
using it.
