Electrical safety precautions to follow when using your Makita table saw

• The power saw plug must match the receptacle on the electrical wall outlet. Never modify the table saw's power cord plug in any manner. Don't use an adapter plug with an earth grounded table saw.
• Don't expose the table saw to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the table saw will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Check the condition of the power cord before using the table saw. Repair damaged wires in the power cord or replace the power cord if it's damaged before using the table saw.
• When operating the table saw outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use to prevent the chance of electrical shock.
• If operating the table saw in a damp location or around a water source, use a GCFI protected power supply.
