The operator should arrange a "drip loop" in
the cord connecting the saw to the outlet.
The
"drip
loop"
(Fig.2b) is that part
of the cord below the
level of the outlet, or
the connector if an
extension cord is used,
to prevent water trav-
eling along the cord
and coming
in con-
tact with the outlet.
If the plug or outlet 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 the presence of water
in the outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electro-
cution, keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
