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 the picture below, 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 exten-
sion 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 extension 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 disconnecting the product from the extension
cord.
