plug that looks like the plug illustrated in 

Figure 5(A)

.  A

temporary  adaptor,  which  looks  like  the  adaptor

illustrated  in 

Figures  5(B)

and 

5(C)

,  may  be  used  to

connect the GFCI plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in

Figure 5(B)

, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The  temporary  adaptor  should  be  used  only  until  a

properly  grounded  outlet  can  be  installed  by  a  qualified

electrician.    The  green-colored  rigid  ear,  lug,  etc.,

extending  from  the  adaptor  must  be  connected  to  a

permanent  ground,  such  as  a  properly  grounded  outlet

box.

8. Position of the Tile Saw.

•    To  avoid  the  possibility  of  the  appliance  plug  or

receptacle getting wet, position the tile saw to one

side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water

from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.  The user

should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting

the saw to a receptacle.  The “drip loop” is that part

of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the

connector (if an extension cord is used); it prevents

water from traveling along the cord and coming into

contact with the receptacle.  

See Figure 6

.

•  If the plug or receptacle does get wet, do not unplug

the cord.  Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that

supplies power to the receptacle.  Then unplug and

examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.

•  If the receptacle is wet, dry it and make certain that

the  GFCI  Plug  is  reset  before  plugging  it  back  into

the receptacle.  Do not reconnect the fuse or circuit

breaker until the receptacle is dry.

9. Extension Cords

•   Always use the extension cord included with the saw.

•   If  an  additional  extension  cord  is  needed,  use  only  a

cord that is intended for outdoor use.  These extension

cords are identified by the marking “Acceptable for use

with  outdoor  appliances;  store  indoors  while  not  in

use.”  Use only extension cords with an electrical rating

higher than the rating of the tool.  Refer to the chart on

page  14.    Do  not  use  damaged  extension  cords.

Examine an extension cord before use and replace it if

it  is  damaged.    Do  not  abuse  extension  cords  and  do

not  pull  on  any  cord  to  disconnect  it.    Keep  the  cord

away  from  heat  and  sharp  edges.    Always  disconnect

the  extension  cord  from  the  receptacle  before

disconnecting the saw from the extension cord.

•  Never  use  an  additional  extension  cord  that  is  longer

than 50 feet.

10.  Always  use  the  Ground  Fault  Circuit  Interrupter  (GFCI)

plug included with the saw.

11.  The tile saw cord includes a 15-amp twist lock plug.  Do

not modify this plug or use an adaptor on it.  This plug

is intended to be used with the GFCI Plug included with

the saw.  The GFCI has a standard 3-prong plug that can

be plugged into a standard 3-prong outlet or extension

cord.

NOTE

Use of a Temporary Adapter is

not permitted in Canada.

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep

all connections dry and off the ground.

Do not touch plug with wet hands.
