3-wire electrical cord receptacle
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrica! receptacle as shown in
FIGURE A. FIGURE A 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 B 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. Ifyou are not sure, have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
