With the tool unplugged, place one test lead on the smaller (hot) prong of the plug, and the other on the ground pin. Then pull the trigger on the tool. Repeat the same test, but place the second lead on the metal body of the saw, instead of the ground pin. If you get a reading on the meter in either test, you have a ground-fault in the tool. | |

| Sep 18, 2017 at 15:43 | comment | added | David | 3 prong. metal body. 1/8" black rubber boot covering the head. Red plastic handle. It is 30 years old. Looks like these duckduckgo.com/… The grey portion is metal. Gripping it with one hand led to tingling. | |
