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 ENVIRON-
MENT. 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 under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
TABLE 1 (page 4) 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 recom-
mended. Wear protective hair covering if
you have long hair.
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 recom-
mended 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.

7 in. Tile Wet Saw
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.
28. POSITIONING OF TILE SAW
(see FIGURE 1)
FIGURE 1
• 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.
• 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.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR IF
OPERATED IMPROPERLY.
• Keep fingers and loose clothing away from
rotating blade.
• Use extreme caution when cutting tile.
Make sure hands and fingers are clear
from the blade groove in the table. Severe
abrasion, cuts, or pinching of hands or
fingers can occur as the table is advanced,
particularly at the end of its travel.
• Electrical shock can occur if operating
instructions are not followed.
