•
Wear eye protection.
•
Use blade guard when cutting.
•
Disconnect saw before servicing, when changing cutting wheels, and cleaning.
•
Use tool only with continuous rim cutting wheels free of opening and grooves.
•
Replace damaged blades before operating.
•
Do not expose to rain or use in damp location.
•
Turn off the power before adjusting the angle for miter cuts.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET. THIS TILE SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED POWER
SOURCE while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. (Figure 1)
2. 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. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having equipment 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.
3. Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet. Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
4. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug in necessary, do not connect the equipment – grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
5. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
6. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
7. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
8. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position 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 the connector
if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
9. 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.
10.Only UL Listed extension cords should be used with this product.
11.Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool, which can result in overheating. Be sure your
extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper gauge for your tool, see chart.
12.Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
13.THIS TILE SAW MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. If not properly grounded, this power tool can incur the potential hazard
of electrical shock particularly when used in damp locations or in proximity to plumbing. If an electrical shock occurs, there
is the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands contacting the saw blade.
14.This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Illustration 2 (B). The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Illustration 2 (A). The green-colored rigid prongs extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
