ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
+ CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET. This tile saw must be connected to a grounded power source
while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
e In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce
the risk of electrical shock. The tile saw is equipped with an electrical cord with a grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Insert the 3-prong electrical plug into a 3-pole receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
e Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet. Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
e Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation that is green on the outside (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
e 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.
e Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tile
saw's plug.
e Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
e 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.
e Only UL-listed extension cords should be used with this product.
e Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool, which can result in overheating. Be sure
your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper gauge for this tile saw, please
refer to the following chart.
e Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
e This tile saw must be properly grounded. The risk of electric shock and bodily i injury are e greatly increased if it is not,
particularly when used in damp locations or in proximity to plumbing.

The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure (A). A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure (B) and (C), _
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in Figure (B) if a properly grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-
colored rigid prongs extending from the adapter must SIR ALONG (B) GROUNDED OUTLET BOX

WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR IF OPERATED IMPROPERLY.
e Keep fingers and loose clothing away from rotating blade.
e Use extreme caution when cutting tile. Make sure hands and fingers are clear from the blade groove in the
sliding table. Severe abrasion, cuts, or pinching of hands or fingers can occur as the table is advanced,
particulary at the end of its travel.
e Electrical shock can occur if operating instructions are not followed.
