First off, I agree it's better to play it safe and ground the PD9260C's metal chassis to ground.
However, for the sake of discussion, one has to wonder why PD elected to use a standard, 3-prong, grounded, 120 volt, consumer-type plug on their PD9260C. Use of this plug gives the "impression" it can be safely used in a temporary, portable, non-permanent environment (without a dedicated, separate ground wire). They do not use a 3-prong, consumer-type plug on their application specific units.
