POSITIONING OF TILE SAW
(See Illustration 1)
A. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet position the tile saw to one side of a
wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. The user should
arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the saw to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord
below the level of the receptacle, or connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
B. If the plug or receptacle 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 presence of water in the receptacle.

CHECK DIAMOND BLADES CAREFULLY
for cracks, nicks, missing diamond matrix, or out-of-alignment.
Replace blades immmediately.
DO NOT
use damaged blades. They may cause bodily injury.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
•
CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET.
This tile saw must be connected to a grounded power source
while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current
to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The tile saw is equipped with an electrical cord with a grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. Insert the 3-prong electrical plug into a 3-pole receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet. Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation that is green on the outside (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tile
saw’s plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
• If the plug or receptacle 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 presence of water in the receptacle.
• Only UL-listed extension cords should be used with this product.
• Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool, which can result in overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper gauge for this
tile saw, please refer to Table 1.
• Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
• This tile saw must be properly grounded. The risk of electric shock and bodily injury are greatly increased if it is
not, particularly when used in damp locations or in proximity to plumbing.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one shown in Illustration 2. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure
(A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figures (B) and (C), may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure (B) if a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green-colored rigid prongs extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box.

WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR IF OPERATED IMPROPERLY.
• Keep fingers and loose clothing away from rotating blade.
• Use extreme caution when cutting tile. Make sure hands and fingers are clear from the blade groove in the
sliding table. Severe abrasion, cuts, or pinching of hands or fingers can occur as the table is advanced,
particulary at the end of its travel.
• Electrical shock can occur if operating instructions are not followed.
