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 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 .
