GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ THIS OWNER'S
MANUAL COMPLETELY AND MAKE
SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS
SAFETY GUIDELINES.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Before turning on the tile saw,
make sure the keys and adjusting wrenches
have been removed.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
4. ALWAYS REMAIN ALERT WHEN THE SAW
IS IN USE. Inattention on the part of the
operator may lead to serious injury.
5. DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in
damp or wet locations or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should
remain at a safe distance from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with
padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.
8. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a tool
or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.
9. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. TABLE 1 (page 2) 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.
10. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It has been
designed to operate at maximum safety and
performance levels.
11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL BEING
CUT. Always let the blade cut at its own
speed.
12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets
or other jewelry which may get caught
in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear is
recommended. Wear protective hair
covering if you have long hair.
– 1 –
7 in. Tile Wet Saw
13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask for commercial
cutting operations. Everyday eyeglasses only
have impact-resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
14. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools clean and in good working condition for
maximum safety performance.
16. DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE SERVICING –
when changing accessories, such as blades,
bits, cutters, etc.
17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF
position before plugging in.
18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories
may increase risk of injury.
19. DO NOT DRY CUT WITH BLADES
DESIGNED FOR WET CUTS.
20. Make sure you USE THE CORRECT
BLADE for the job you are doing.
21. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury
could occur if the wet saw is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
22. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before
further use of the tool, damaged part(s),
(i.e., guard) should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other condition that may affect the
saw's operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced.
23. Ensure that BLADE IS TRAVELING
THROUGH WATER RESERVOIR FOR WET
CUTTING.
24. 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.
25. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into the
blade against the direction of rotation of the
blade only.
26. DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG or use a
2-prong receptacle. This saw is equipped
with a 3-prong electrical plug.
27. NEVER LEAVE SAW RUNNING
UNATTENDED. Turn power off. Don't leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
