Additional Safety Information - Porter Cable PCE980 Manual De Instrucciones

3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit
the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green
and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal. If your unit is intended for use on less than 150 V,
it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch A. If it is for
use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown
in sketch D. An adapter, sketches B and C, is available for
connecting sketch A type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as
a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a
plug as shown in sketch D. ADAPTER SHOWN IN SKETCHES B
and C ARE NOT FOR USE IN CANADA.

Additional Safety Rules for Wet Tile Saw

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.

CAUTION: Do not connect unit to electrical
power source until complete instructions are read
and understood.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Keep hands out of path of saw blade. NEVER CUT A
PIECE WHERE HAND WOULD BE 3" (76 mm) OR LESS
FROM BLADE.
• Do not perform any operation freehand, that is without
holding the workpiece firmly against the fence or
edge guide.
• Never reach in back of the blade.

• DON'T - Cut dry. If blade is not cooled with water, serious
damage will occur. Dry cutting will increase exposure to
harmful airborne dust.
• Turn off the tool and wait for blade to stop before moving
the workpiece or changing settings.
• To reduce risk of injury, return the cart to the full rear
position after each cut.
• DO - Make certain the blade rotates in the correct direction
as indicated by the arrow on the blade.
• DO - Always use the splash hood.
• DO - Be sure all clamp handles and knobs are tight before
starting any operation.
• DO - Be sure all blade and clamp washers are clean and
recessed sides of collars are against blade. Tighten arbor
nut securely.
• DO - Keep the blade properly aligned.
• DO - Keep the motor air slots free of chips and dirt.
• DO - Always empty water from the reservoir before
transporting. Water can splash into electrical components.
• DO - Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade.
• DON'T - Attempt to operate on anything but designated
voltage. Incorrect voltage may result in shock, fire, or
unpredictable operation.
• DON'T - Use blades larger or smaller than those which
are recommended.
• DON'T - Force cutting action. Allow motor to reach full
speed before cutting. Stalling or partial stalling of motor
can cause major damage.
• DON'T - Use metal cutting abrasive wheels. The excessive heat
and abrasive particles generated by them will damage the saw.
• DO - Use continuous rim wheels only, no serrated edges or
toothed blades.
• DON'T - Allow anyone to stand behind saw.
• DON'T - Place either hand in the blade area when the saw is
connected to the power source.
• DON'T - Use blades rated less than 5000 R.P.M.
• DON'T - Place hands closer than 3" (76 mm) from the
saw blade.
• DON'T - Reach behind or underneath the saw unless it is
turned off and unplugged.
• DON'T - Move either hand from saw or workpiece until the
blade has stopped.
