C. EXTENSION CORDS
1.Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking
“Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances, store indoors while not in use.” Use only recommended extension
cords. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do
not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp
edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the
extension cord.
2.WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the
plug with wet hands.
3.Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
D. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW
• Wear eye protection.
• Keep blade safety guard in place.
• Disconnect the saw before servicing, when changing diamond blades and cleaning.
• Make certain that you use the appropriate blade for the material that you are cutting.
• Replace damaged blades before operating.
• Do not fill water tray above the max water filling line.
E. 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.
