SAFETY
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
AND GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS.
In order to prevent potential electrical shock and
injury, the following electrical safety precautions
and symbols should be followed at all times!
In case of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resi-
stance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This tool is equip-
ped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
●
Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet; have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
●
Improper connections of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. The equipment-groun-
ding conductor is the insulated conductor
that has an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes. If repair or repla-
cement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
●
Check with a qualified electrician or serv-
ice personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in
doubt s to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
●
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
●
Repair or replace a damaged or worn
cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit
that has a 3 pole outlet.
To reduce the risk of electrocutation,
keep all connections dry and off the
ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)to be used
for the Saw. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this
measure of safety. A GFCI is not supplied with the
machine.
When using an extension cord, the GFCI should
be installed closest to the power source, followed
by the extension cord and lastly, the saw.
Shock Hazard. For replacement, use only an
identical Rodia water pump, Item
# 6.513.298
To avoid the possibility of the machines
plug or electrical outlet getting wet,
position the saw to one side of a wall
mounted outlet. This will prevent water
from dripping onto the outlet or plug. A “drip loop”
should be arranged by the user to properly posi-
tion the power cord relative to the power source.
The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the
level of the outlet, or the connector, if an extension
cord is used.
