BD-1272 RAIL SAW
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the saw to one side
of a wallmounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip
loop," shown in (Figure 2), should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative
to the power source.

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 cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not
abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cords away from heat and
sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product form the extension cord.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug
with wet hands.
Use of under-sized extension cords result in low voltage to the motor that can result in motor burnout
and premature failure. Barranca Diamond warns that equipment returned to us showing signs of
being run in a low voltage condition, through the use of undersized extension cords will be repaired or
replaced totally at the customer's expense. There will be no warranty claim.
To choose the proper extension cord:
• Locate the length of extension cord needed in the table below.
• Once the proper length is found, move down the column to obtain the correct AWG size required
for that length of extension cord.

The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the
receptacle, or the connector, if an extension cord is used. This

method of positioning the cord prevents the travel of water along
the power cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle gets 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.
