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 and remove
the battery pack 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.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
