TO REDUCE THE RISk
OF ELECTROCUTION, kEEP ALL CONNECTIONS
DRY AND OFF THE GROUND. DO NOT TOUCH
PLUG WITH WET HANDS.
2 . Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuit(s)
or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw .
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure
of safety .
3 .
uSE propEr EXTEnSIon cord.
Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition .
When using an extension cord, be sure to use
a cord heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw . An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss
power and overheating . TABlE 1 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.

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 .
DESCRIPTION
Before attempting to use any tool, be sure to
familiarize yourself with all the operating features
and safety instructions .
KnOW yOUr SaW
Your tile saw has many built-in features (see
figure 3) for fast, efficient cutting of ceramic,
porcelain, marble, slate or limestone wall or
floor tile. The durable 7 inch blade cuts tile up
to 1 1/4 in . (31 mm) thick . The adjustable rip and
angle guides allow 90° rip cuts and 15°, 30° or 45°
angle cuts on both the right and left sides . The
right cutting table is hinged so it can be adjusted
for 22 .5° and 45° miter cuts . The right table has
a built-in water reservoir for cooling the blade .
The water reservoir has an overflow opening
to maintain the proper water level . The built-in
handle allows easy transporting .
