GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS


WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a
conductive fluid.

WARNING: when using electric tools, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce risk
of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including
the following:
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
•
invite injuries.
• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain or snow. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe
distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
•
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts and should
also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Always place tile flat on cart and securely
against fence.

• NEVER USE A PAN HEATER OR OTHER HEAT SOURCE
FOR HEATING WATER. Damage to the tool, fire or
personal injury could result.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
•
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing
accessories, such as cutting wheels, clamps, extensions,
and the like.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
•
Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the
instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use
of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function–check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a cutting wheel
with the direction of rotation only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
• REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts.

Grounding Instructions

• In the event 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 fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• 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 is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
• 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.
• 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 damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a
