Is this what the 3rd prong does? Would this make is safer? Does a GFCI also work on a power tool with just 2 prongs? Thanks Bonnie Two prong plugs are polarized and are grounded to the neutral line. They are never grounded to the neutral line. With a polarized plug the switch is in the hot wire. -- bud-- |
