The power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and grounding type plug listed by
Underwriters’ Laboratories. 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.
The plug requires a mating 3-conductor
grounded type outlet as shown above. If you
have an outlet that is of the 2-prong type, it is
recommended that you have a qualified
electrician replace it with a properly
grounded 3-prong outlet.
