table 1 below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
note: When using an extension cord, ensure all cords are no smaller than #12 gauge, rated at
a 20-amp minimum, and equipped with 3-prong plugs. Use of anything smaller may result in
overheating or burn out of the motor. It is recommended to have an electrician check the voltage at
the saw motor to ensure proper voltage to run the saw efficiently and safely.

WARNING
AVERTISSEMENT
ADVERTENCIA
SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING AND
OThER CONSTRUCTION ACTIvITIES CONTAIN ChEMICALS kNOWN TO ThE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTh DEFECTS OR OThER REPRODUCTIvE hARM.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SPECIFIC OPERATION GUIDE
1. Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade corresponds with the rotational direction of
the motor.
2. With the saw disconnected from the power supply, rotate the blade by hand to ensure it is free
from
obstruction.
3. Always keep the blade-securing arbor and collars clean.
4. Ensure that the blade-securing bolt is securely tightened.
5. Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that the tile to be cut is pressed firmly against the rip
fence.
6. Ensure that the workpiece that will be cut off has sufficient room to move sideways. Failure to do
so may result in the off-cut binding against the blade.
7. Never cut more than one tile at a time.
8. Never cut pieces too small that are not held securely against the rip fence, and provide enough
space for the hand to be a safe distance from the blade.
9. Ensure that the table and surrounding area are clear with the exception of the tile to be cut.
10. Before cutting a tile piece, let the saw blade run freely for a few seconds. If it makes an unfamiliar
sound or vibrates excessively, switch it off immediately and disconnect it from the power supply.
11. Let the blade reach full speed before commencing the cut.
12. Let the blade come to a complete stop before removing any jammed material from around the
blade area.
13. Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep the water tray at the recommended level will
result in possible over-heating of the diamond blade.
