Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet 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
electric shock. The insulated conductor that is green in colour, with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric 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 tool's plug.
Positioning the Saw:
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position the wet saw to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle or plug. To
prevent water from dripping onto the plug or receptacle, construct a "drip
loop." To create a drip loop, ensure that the cord dips below the level at
which it is plugged into the wall (see figure 1.)
