the adapter (fig. 2) has a rigid lug extending from it that
MuSt be connected to a permanent earth ground, such
as a properly grounded receptacle box.
in all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.
pOSITION OF 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 (see fig. 3). the “drip loop” is that part of the
cord below the level of the receptacle, or connector if an
extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
if the plug or receptacle does get wet, do not unplug
the cord. disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the tool. then, unplug and examine
for presence of water in the receptacle.
eXTeNSION COrDS
1. use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use. These extension cords are identified
by a marking “acceptable for use with outdoor
appliances; store indoors while not in use.” use only
extension cords having an electrical rating not less
than the rating of the product.
do not use damaged extension cords. examine
extension cord before using and replace if damaged.
do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on
any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat
and sharp edges.
always disconnect the extension cord from the
receptacle before disconnecting the product from
the extension cord.
2.
to reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. do not touch
plug with wet hands.
3. Ground fault circuit interrupter (Gfci) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to
be used for the tile saw. receptacles are available
having built-in Gfci protection and may be used for
this measure of safety.
