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.
• DON'T operate saw without the cutting wheel cover inplace.
• Clean tile saw after each use for optimaloperation.
• 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 the cutting wheel. NEVER CUT A PIECE WHERE HAND WOULD BE 3"
(76mm) OR LESS FROM THE CUTTINGWHEEL.
• 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cuttingwheel.
• DON’T - Cut dry. If the cutting wheel 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 the cutting wheel 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 - Use cutting cart extension to support largetile.
• DO - Make certain the cutting wheel rotates in the correct direction as indicated by the arrow
on thecuttingwheel.
• DO - Be sure all clamp handles and knobs are tight before starting anyoperation.
• DO - Be sure all cutting wheel and clamp washers are clean and recessed sides of collars are
against the cutting wheel. Tighten arbor nutsecurely.
• DO - Keep the cutting wheel properlyaligned.
• DO - Keep the motor air slots free of chips anddirt.
• DO – Always empty water from the reservoir and disconnect from the power source before
transporting. Water can splash into electricalcomponents.
• DO - Keep hands out of the path of the cuttingwheel.
• DO - Shut off power, disconnect cord from power source and wait for the cutting wheel to
stop before servicng, adjusting tool or changing cuttingwheel.
• DON’T - Attempt to operate on anything but designated voltage. Incorrect voltage may result
in shock, fire, or unpredictableoperation.
• DON’T - Operate unless all knobs and clamps aretight.
• DON’T - Use cutting wheels 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cuttingwheels.
• DON’T - Allow anyone to stand behindsaw.
• DON’T - Place either hand in the cutting wheel area when the saw is connected to the
powersource.
Grounding Instructions (Fig. B)
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes andordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualifiedelectrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
liveterminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properlygrounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’splug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cordimmediately.
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with a 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury:
• Before any use, be sure everyone using this tool reads and understands all safety
instructions and other information contained in this manual.
• Save these instructions and review frequently prior to use and in instructing others.
1 . KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in workingorder.
2 . REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning iton.
3 . KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4 . DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area welllighted.
5 . KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from workarea.
6 . MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starterkeys.
7 . DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.
8 . USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was notdesigned.
9 . USE 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. Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets 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 . WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain longhair.
11 . ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safetyglasses.
12 . SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operatetool.
13 . DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes.
14 . MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changingaccessories.
15 . DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and thelike.
16 . REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before pluggingin.
17 . USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury topersons.
18 . NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionallycontacted.
19 . CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged 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 conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired orreplaced.
20 . DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutteronly.
21 . NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it
comes to a completestop.
