19. Grounding instructions
• in the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. this tool is equipped 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 connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock.
• check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as 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 damaged or worn cord immediately.
this tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in
Figure 2
. the tool has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure
2(A)
. a temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in
Figure 2(B) and 2(C
), may be used to connect
this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in
Figure 2(B)
if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. the temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. the green-colored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
additionally, water pump requires the use of a Ground fault
circuit interrupter. therefore, when using the water pump
receptacle, this tool must be plugged into a properly installed
Ground fault circuit interrupter outlet.
See Figure 2(D)
. if
a Ground fault circuit interrupter outlet is not available,
tyrolit hydrostress aG has it available as an accessory
item. a plug-in Ground fault circuit interrupter may be
plugged into a properly installed and grounded 3-pole outlet.
refer to
Figure 2(E).
20. Position of the tile Saw
• to avoid the possiblity of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet, position 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, to prevent water
traveling along the cord and coming in contact
with the receptacle.
See Figure 3.
• 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.
T
hen unplug and examine for presence of
water in the receptacle.
NOTE
- Use of a Temporary Adapter is not permitted
in certain countries. Please check local regulations
before using a Temporary Adapter.
