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 this machine. 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 machine.
WARNING
WARNING
The pump requires a GFCI. To reduce risk of electric shock when operating the machine 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 pump.
NOTE: Do not run pump dry. Also, be sure to disconnect and remove the pump when cutting dry.
CAUTION
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 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.
