RIDGID R4090 Operator's Manual page 8

ELECTRICAL
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile
saw. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of safety.
If the saw is used with an extension cord, ensure the con-
nection of the tool's power cord and the extension cord are
not on the ground.
If a protected outlet is not available, do not use the saw
until an outlet can be changed or auxiliary protection can
be obtained. These auxiliary protection devices are available
at your local retailer.
POSITION OF THE TILE SAW
See Figure 2.
To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting
wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted outlet
to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. The
operator should arrange a "drip loop" in the cord connecting
the saw to the outlet. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord
below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the outlet.
If the plug or outlet 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 the presence of
water in the outlet.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all con-
nections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the
plug with wet hands.
