Tile Saw Safety Warnings (cont.)
POSITION OF TILE SAW
Tile Saw
Figure B: Drip Loop
13. To avoid the possibility of the tool 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.
14. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON'T 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.
Figure C: Extension Cord Drip Loop
15. If an extension cord is used, the drip loop must be
before the cord connection and the extension cord
connection must be placed on an elevated surface.

EXTENSION CORDS
16. Use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use. These extension cords are identified
by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor
tools; 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.
17. WARNING – To reduce the risk of electrocution,
keep all connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands.
18. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or 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.
