The user should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord

connecting the saw to a receptacle. The “drip

SURFACE

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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

THIS TILE SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED POWER SOURCE while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The tile saw is equipped with an electrical cord with a grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Insert the 3-prong electrical plug into a 3-pole receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG provided if it will not fit the outlet. Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. The conductor with insulation that is green on the outside (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tile saw’s plug.

REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDIATELY.

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.

ONLY UL-LISTED EXTENSION CORDS SHOULD BE USED WITH THIS PRODUCT.

IMPROPER USE OF EXTENSION CORDS MAY CAUSE INEFFICIENT OPERATION OF YOURTOOL, which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is

rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper gauge for this tile saw, please refer to TABLE 1.

DO NOT LET YOUR FINGERSTOUCH THE TERMINALS

THIS TILE SAW MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The risk of electric shock and bodily injury are greatly increased if it is not, particularly when used in damp locations or in proximity to plumbing.
