This machine must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from etectric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110_120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp, dual element time delay or
Circuit-Saver fuse or circuit breaker.
If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded,
have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH
THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN INSTALLING OR
REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE OUTLET.
WARNING:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS
POWER TOOL CAN INCUR THE POTENTIAL HAZARD
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. PARTICULARLY WHEN USED
IN DAMP LOCATIONS IN PROXIMITY TO PLUMBING.
IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS
YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE CUTTING BLADE,
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have

PRONG
This power too! is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug wMch has a grounding prong listed by
Underwriters" Laboratories Association, The ground
conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool
housing at one end and to the ground prong in the
attachment plug at the other end.
This piug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power too_ is
of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to
known ground,
It is recommended that you _nave a quafified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properhi grounded
THREE prong outlet,
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs
to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a perrnanent ground
