29. POSITIONING OF TILE SAW
See figure 1
A. To avoid the possibility
of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet,
position the tile saw to one
side of a wall-mounted
receptacle to prevent
water from dripping onto
the receptacle or plug.
The user should arrange
a "drip loop" in the cord
connecting the saw to
a receptacle. The "drip
loop" is that part of the
cord below the level of the
receptacle, or connector if
an extension cord is used,
to prevent water traveling
along the cord and
coming in contact with the
receptacle.
B. If the plug or receptacle
does get 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.
30. checK diamond blades carefully for cracks, nicks, missing diamond matrix, or out of
alignment. Replace blades immediately. do not use damaged blades. They may cause bodily
injury.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
•
this tile saw must be connected to a grounded power source while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock.
•
in the event of a malfunction or breaKdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The tile saw is equipped with
an electrical cord with a grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Insert the 3-prong electrical
plug into a 3-pole receptacle 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 connection
of the equipment-
grounding conductor
can result in a risK
of electric shocK. The
conductor with insulation that
is green on the outside (with
or without yellow stripes) is
the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electrical
cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
•
checK with a qualified
electrician or service
