EXTENSION CORDS
1. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable
for use with outdoor appliances: store indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating equal
to or greater than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and
replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat
and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the
extension cord.
2. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with
wet hands.
3. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
4. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss power and overheating. TABLE 1 below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING!
1.
Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade corresponds with the rotational direction of the motor.
2.
With the saw disconnected from the power supply, rotate the blade by hand to ensure it is free from obstruction.
3.
Always keep the blade-securing arbor and collars clean.
4.
Ensure that the blade-securing bolt is securely tightened.
5.
Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that the tile to be cut is pressed firmly against the rip guide.
6.
Ensure the material being cut off has sufficient room to move sideways. Failure to do so may result in the off-cut binding
against the blade.
7.
Never cut more than one tile at a time.
8.
Never cut pieces too small that are not held securely against the rip guide, and provide enough space for the hand to be a
safe distance from the blade.
9.
Ensure that the table and surrounding area are clear with the exception of the tile to be cut.
10. Before cutting a tile piece, let the saw blade run freely for a few seconds. If it makes an unfamiliar sound or vibrates
excessively, switch it off immediately and disconnect it from the power supply.
11. Let the blade reach full speed before commencing the cut.
12. Let the blade come to a complete stop before removing any jammed material from around the blade area.
13. Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep the water tray at the recommended level will result in possible over-heating
of the diamond blade.
To avoid permanent motor damage you must use the correct extension cord. Never use more than
one extension cord at a time.
