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. D).
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. WARNING: 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) (not included) protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or Fig. C 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.
