SAFETY:
To reduce the risk of shock or electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the
ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or
outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protections and may be used for this measure of safety.
When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed closest to the power
source, followed by the extension cord and lastly, the saw.
To avoid the possibly of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the
Tile Saw to one side of a wall mounted 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.
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.
To reduce the risk of shock or electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
