SAFETY
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should
be followed at all times!
In case 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 having 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 connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface that is green, with or
without yellow stripes. 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
• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of
Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A of Figure 1. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C,
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug,
and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the Saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this measure of
safety.
When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed closest to the power source, followed by the
extension cord and lastly, the saw.
The pump requires a GFCI. To reduce risk of electric shock when operating the saw with the pump
plugged into the 3-pole receptacle on the motor, connect the saw to a GFCI outlet. See the pump manual
and informational tags enclosed separately for all pump information.
Shock Hazard. For replacement, use only an identical MK pump, model PE1 part #151271.
NOTE: Do not run the pump dry. Also, be sure to disconnect and remove the pump when cutting dry.
