WARNING:
For your own safety, read and always observe all safety
precautions listed in operator’s manual and on saw.
Safety Instructions for Basic Operations
WARNING:
Don't allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your
tile saw) to cause a careless mistake. Always remember
that a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause
a severe injury.
• Never put your ngers or hands in the path of the saw
blade or other cutting tool.
• Never reach behind the cutting tool with either hand for
any reason. Do not reach behind the blade to hold down
the work piece, support the work piece, remove scraps, or
for any other reason.
• Never use a hand position where a sudden slip could
cause the ngers or the hand to move into a saw blade.
Before Each Use Inspect Your Saw
• With the machine disconnected from the power supply,
rotate the blade by hand to make sure that it moves
freely.
• Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position before
plugging the saw into an electrical receptacle.
• If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any
electrical part does not work properly, turn the saw off and
unplug the saw.
• If the cutting blade is damaged, replace it before operating
the saw.
• Always check for and remove all keys, adjusting wrench-
es, and other tools from the work table before turning on
the saw.
• Make sure that all clamps, fasteners, and locks are tight
and that no parts have excessive play.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
make sure that it would operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for proper alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
• Always keep the blade-securing arbor and collars clean.
• Make sure that the blade-securing bolt is securely tight-
ened with the wrench provided.
OPERATION
• Use the anti-splash rubber guard for every operation for
which it can be used.
• Check that the directional arrow marked on the blade cor-
responds with the rotational direction of the motor as
marked on the blade guard.
• Disconnect power to the saw before servicing, when
changing cutting blade, and cleaning.
Whenever the Saw Blade Is Spinning
• Let the saw blade run freely for a few seconds before cut-
ting a tile piece. If the saw blade makes an unfamiliar noise
or vibrates excessively, switch the saw off immediately
and disconnect it from the power supply. Investigate the
cause or consult the customer service department for ad-
vice. Do not restart the saw until nding and correcting the
problem.
• Always feed work into the blade against the direction of
rotation of the blade.
• Keep children away. All visitors should be kept safe dis-
tance from the work area.
Don’t Force the Tool
• Let the blade reach full speed before starting to cut.
• The saw will do a better job and be safer when it is used at
the rate for which it was designed.
Before Leaving the Saw
• Turn the saw off.
• Wait for blade to stop spinning.
• Unplug the saw.
• Always make the workshop childproof. Disconnect master
switches.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips or
Thrown Pieces
Inspect Your Blade
• Choose the right blade for the material and the type of cut-
ting you plan to do.
• Choose and inspect your blade with care.
• To reduce the risk of cutting-tool failure and thrown pieces
of broken blade, use only 10” or 8” wet blades that are
marked for speeds of 5000 rpm or higher.
• Always use unbroken, balanced blades that are designed
to t this saw’s 5/8-inch arbor.
• Do not over-tighten the arbor nut. Use the arbor wrench to
tighten it securely.
• Use the tool only with smooth-edge cutting blades free of
teeth and grooves.
