ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be

followed at all times!

WARNING

In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric

current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having 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 – if it will not t the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a

qualied electrician

• Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

The equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface that is

green, with or without yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is

necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal

• Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if in doubt 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

WARNING

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of

Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A of FIGURE 1. A

temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect

this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

• The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly

grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electrician. The

green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the

adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a

properly grounded outlet box.

NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.

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

the Brick Saw. 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 saw.
