READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL COMPLETELY AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS SAFETY GUIDELINES.
1.
Ensure the power switch on your tile saw is in the “OFF” position before plugging it in.
2. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
3. Do not leave the tile saw unattended while it is running. Always return the power to the “OFF” position when not in use.
4. Always wear safety goggles, dust mask and ear protection when operating the tile saw. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
5. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
6. Use recommmended accessories. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
7. Always remain alert when the tile saw is in use. Inattention on the part of the operator may lead to a serious injury.
8. Don't use in dangerous environment. Dont' use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
9. Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.
10. Make workshop kidproof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
11. Always keep the blade guard and splash hood in the “DOWN” position while operating the tile saw.
12. Disconnect the unit from its power source before installing or changing blades and before cleaning or servicing the
tile saw.
13. Never stand on tools. Serious injuries could occur if the tool tips or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
15. Do not directly wash the bottom of the motor.
16. Do not force the material being cut. Always let the blade cut at its own speed.
17. Do not force a tool to do a job it isn’t designed to do.
18. Make sure you use the correct blade for the job you are doing.
19. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands
to operate tool.
20. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
21. This tile saw is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug. Do not alter the plug or use a 2-prong receptacle.
22. Keep your work space clear and free of all debris. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
23. Keep the tile saw clean and maintained to achieve the safest and highest performance for each job.
24. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
25. Check diamond blades carefully for cracks, nicks,
missing diamond matrix or out-of-alignment
condition. Replace damaged blades immediately.
DO NOT USE DAMAGED BLADES. They may cause
bodily injury.
26. Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
27. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
28. Do not overfill water reservoir.
29. 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.
