• Do not attempt to cut pieces too small to
safely hold down on the main table.
• Never use the side of the blade to cut or
grind with, only cut in a straight line.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
blade and all other moving parts.
• Never touch or try to stop a moving blade
with your hand.
16. When cutting dry - always unplug the water
pump first.
Never run the pump dry.
• Do not use a wet cutting blade for dry
cutting. Select the proper dry cutting blade
for your application.
• Never make long continuous cuts with dry
cutting blades. To avoid heat build up,
allow the blade to cool, remove the tile and
allow the blade to run freely for a few
minutes.
IMPORTANT - If there is any tendency for the saw
to tip or move during certain operations, such
as when cutting large heavy tile; the saw must
be securely fastened to a supporting table.
17. Make certain all adjusting knobs or locks are
tight and engaged in their detents and that
movable parts not intended to move during
operation are securely locked before making a
cut.
Be careful not to over tighten.
18. Before connecting the machine to a power
source check to see that the “On/Off” switch is
in the “off” position.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting
anything before connecting to a power
source and starting the motor.
• Know how to stop the machine quickly in
case of an emergency.

ix. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding pin
1. Always use the included GFCI plug.
2. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord which
has an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
3. Do not modify the plug provided – it is intended to
be used with the included GFCI plug and extension
cord. If using an adaptor for a 2-prong outlet,
always attach the adaptor to the GFCI plug, never
to the power cord.
4. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
5. Check with a qualified electrician or service person
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions or are unsure that the tool is properly
grounded.
6. If an additional extension cord is needed, attach it
to the 3-prong GFCI plug. Never use an extension
cord longer than 50 feet.
Always repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
7. This saw is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Figure 5
.
