ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
WARNING
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE TILE SAW DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR TILE SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V WALL
OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A
15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO
CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR
FIRE.
GROUNDING
Your tile saw must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly
grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS TILE SAW CAN
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP
LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS
WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
If this tile saw should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tile saw is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropri-
ate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING, DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your tile saw is ready to run for 120V operation.
This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug
which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1A.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR(S) FOR THEY ARE
NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.
NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If you do not
have a choice, use the table in Fig.1B to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire ex-
tension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole recep-
tacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size
must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the
tile saw motor. Refer to Fig.1B for wire length and size.
USING ON/OFF SWITCH WITH REMOVABLE SAFETY KEY
The On/Off switch (A) Fig.2 is used to turn the tile saw on and off. To turn
the tile saw “On”, move the switch upwards (On position), to turn the tile saw
“Off”, move the switch downwards (Off position).
This switch comes with a removable safety key (B). When the safety key is
removed from the switch and placed in a safe location, unauthorized per-

sons or children can’t turn the switch to the On position. It is recom-
mended to always remove the safety key from the switch whenever
the tile saw is not in use. To remove the safety switch, make sure
the switch is in the Off position and simply pull out the safety key.
CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET BUTTON
This tile saw is equipped with a circuit breaker reset button (C) Fig.2.
If the circuit is tripped and the motor stops, place the switch to the
“OFF” position. Wait 10-15 minutes for the machine to cool down
and then press the circuit breaker reset button, then place the switch
to the “ON” position to turn machine on again.
If this fails, try using a dedicated circuit without any other electrical
devices plugged to it, or have a qualified electrician check your elec-
trical panel.
