• 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.

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.
