POWER SOURCE
WARNING
Do not connect to the power source until the machine is
completely assembled.
The machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating
current. Before connecting the machine to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within range
may cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads
require that voltage at motor terminals be no less than the
voltage specified on nameplate.
• Power supply to the motor is controlled by a
locking rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent
unauthorized use.
NOTE: Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 8 and 9
WARNING
Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor
can result in the risk of electrical shock.
• The machine should be grounded while in use to protect
operator from electrical shock.
• In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
• This machine is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord rated at 150V and a 3-prong grounding type plug
for your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a
properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type
receptacle, as shown in Figure 8.

3-Prong Plug
Grounding Prong
• The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
these instructions are not completely understood or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Use only
3-wire extension cords, that have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept
the machine’s plug, as shown in Figure 8.
WARNING
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing from outlet.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• 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 green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER with this product.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for the tile saw. Outlets are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure the extension
cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles
which accept the tool plug. When using an extension cord,
make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
the voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
Extension Cord Length
Wire Size……………..18 A.W.G.
Up to 25 ft
NOTE: Using extension cords over 25 ft. long is
not recommended.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by a marking
“Accept- able for use with outdoor appliances; store
indoors while not in use”. Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the
product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine
extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do
not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to
disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle
before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
