CUTTING WHEEL SAFETY
1. Use only diamond cutting wheels that are rated above the maximum spindle speed of the tool (3450 RPM) and
are appropriate for the material being cut.
2. Use cutting wheels in good working condition. Never use segmented cutting wheels. Replace damaged or worn
cutting wheels immediately. Regularly check to ensure that the cutting wheel is correctly fastened to the tool.
3. Use protective gloves when handling cutting wheels. Cutting wheels can cause injuries, even when stationary.
TILE SAW SAFETY
1. Make sure the tile saw is securely positioned or mounted on a level, firm work surface before operating.
2. To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet
hands. Refer to “Positioning of the Tile Saw” on page 10 for instructions on arranging a “drip loop” in the power
cord to prevent water from entering the power outlet.
3. If any part of this tool is missing, broken, bent, or damaged in any way, shut off the power switch, disconnect the
power, and have the part replaced before operation. Never use the machine without the blade guard in position.
4. Wear ANSI Z87.1-approved impact-resistant safety goggles. Safety goggles should be worn during operation, as-
sembly or maintenance of the tool.
5. Always stand to the side of the cutting wheel. Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of
the wheel. Maintain a sufficient and safe distance from the cutting wheel.
6. Before turning on the tool, make sure the workpiece is not in contact with the cutting wheel. Let the cutting wheel
reach full speed before feeding in the workpiece.
7. This saw is for cutting tiles; never cut wood or metal with this saw. Do not exceed the cutting capacity of your saw.
8. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Do not stack workpieces on top of each other. Multiple workpieces can shift
during cutting and fly out of control.
9. Keep the water level between the minimum and maximum level markings on the inside of the water reservoir. Do
not operate the tile saw with too little or too much water. Lack of water in the reservoir may damage the tile blade.
10. Switch off the tile saw and wait until the cutting wheel comes to a complete stop before removing workpieces or
residual material from the work area.
11. This tile saw should be used at an ambient temperature between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C).
12. To avoid accidentally starting the tool, always disconnect the product from its power supply before performing
adjustments or maintenance.
13. Use only recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
14. Always store the product in a dry and frost-free place. Keep the tool and cutting wheels away from children.
