WARNING:
To prevent serious injury from accidental operation, make sure the power cord is discon-
nected from the power source and the tool is turned OFF before assembly or making any adjustments.
ASSEMBLY
POSITIONING OF THE TILE SAW (Figs. 1 & 2)
Place the tile saw on a firm, level surface. Allow sufficient area around the tile saw and be prepared that the sur-
rounding area may get wet during operation.
Tile saws require water to cool down the cutting wheel. However, water contacting the power source or entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. To avoid the possibility of the power plug or receptacle getting
wet, the tile saw should be positioned to one side of a wall mounted receptacle (not directly above it). This prevents
water from dripping directly onto the receptacle or power plug.
Create a "drip loop" in the cord connecting the tool to the receptacle (Fig. 1). A “drip loop” is the part of the cord
that is below the level of the receptacle or the connector (if an extension cord is used). This will prevent the water
from traveling down along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If an extension cord is used, the cord connection must be placed on the elevated surface and the “drip loop” must
be arranged before the cord connection (Fig. 2) to prevent it from getting wet.
WARNING:
If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. First disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then, unplug the tool and examine for presence of
water in the receptacle.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch the plug with wet hands.

WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment
should be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical
shock.
-Check with a qualified electrician if you do not understand
grounding instructions or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool
is properly grounded.
-This tool is equipped with an approved cord and a 3-prong
grounding type plug for you protection against shock hazards.
-Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type
receptacle, as shown.
-Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner, in the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
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 cause overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
POSITION OF THE TILE SAW
To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted
outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. The operator should arrange a “drip loop” in the
cord connecting the saw to the outlet. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the
connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with
the outlet.
If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the tool then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the outlet.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the
plug with wet hands.
