To reduce the risk of 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 this machine. 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 machine.

WARNING

The pump requires a GFCI. To reduce risk of electric shock when operating the machine with the

pump plugged into the 3-pole receptacle on the motor, connect the saw to a GFCI outlet. See the

pump manual and informational tags enclosed separately for all pump information.

Shock Hazard. For replacement, use only an identical pump.

NOTE: Do not run pump dry. Also, be sure to disconnect and remove the pump when cutting dry.

CAUTION

Fig. 2 Drip Loop Information

To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the machine 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 exten-

sion 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.
