To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the saw 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.
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.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet
hands.
Use of under size extension cords result in low voltage to the motor that can result in motor burnout and
premature failure. Barranca Diamond warns that equipment returned to us showing signs of being run in a
low voltage condition, through the use of undersized extension cords will be repaired or replaced totally at the
customers expense. There will be no warranty claim.
To choose the proper extension cord,
• Locate the length of extension cord needed in TABLE 1 below.
• Once the proper length is found, move down the column to obtain the correct AWG size required for that
length of extension cord.
