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.
