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 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.
WARNING
Use only extensions cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are
identified by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while
not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of
the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cords before using
and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to
disconnect. Keep cords away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension
cord from the receptacle before disconnection the product form the extension cord.
