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.
Fig. 3 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 3, 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.
