GENERAL SAFETY (Cont.)
29. POSITIONING OF TILE SAW
A. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug
or receptacle getting wet, position the 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 (see Fig 1). 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.
B. 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• THIS TILE SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
GROUNDED POWER SOURCE while in use to protect
the operator from electrical shock (see Fig 2).
• 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.
Fig 1
NOTE: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig 2 (B). The tool
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Fig 2 (A). The green-colored rigid prongs extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box.
(A) GROUNDING PIN
• DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG 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.
• R E PAIR 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.
• DO NOT LET YOUR FINGERS TOUCH THE
TERMINALS of plug when installing or removing
the plug to or from the outlet.
