GROUND INSTRUCTION
All grounded, cord-connected tools:
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the
electric current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This tool has an electric cord with 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 with this tool. If it will not t the outlet, have a properly grounded
outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
• Improper connection of the equip ment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The wire
covered with green insulation is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
elec tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green wire to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instruc tions, or if there is a question 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.
• Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a
supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 Volts.
• This tool is intended for use on a circuit with a grounded
outlet (B, Fig. A). The tool has a grounding plug
(A, Fig. A).
A temporary adapter (D, Fig. A) may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (C, Fig. A), if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The green-colored tab
extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a quali ed
electrician can install a properly grounded outlet.
PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TOOLS
This tool can be permanently connected to a grounded
metal wiring system or to a system that has an equipment-
grounding conductor.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit or outlet to be used for the
tile saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
• STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND
USE COMMON SENSE when operating a power tool.
• DO NOT use the tool while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
