PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. Always use ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
glasses cannot be used as safety glasses.
3. Wear hearing protection to prevent hearing damage during operation.
CUTTING DISC SAFETY
1. Use only diamond cutting discs rated above the maximum spindle speed of the tool (5000 RPM) and are appro-
priate for the material being cut.
2. Only use cutting discs in good working condition. Never use segmented cutting discs. Replace damaged or worn
cutting discs immediately. Regularly check to ensure that the cutting disc is correctly fastened to the tool.
3. Use protective gloves when handling cutting discs. A cutting disc can cause injuries, even when it is stationary.
TILE SAW OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure the tile saw is securely positioned or mounted on a level, firm work surface before operating.
2. To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet
hands. Refer to “Positioning of the Tile Saw” on page 8 for instructions on arranging a “drip loop” in the power cord
to prevent water from entering the power outlet.
3. If any part of this tool is missing, broken, bent, or damaged in any way, shut off the power switch, remove the
power plug and have the damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before operation.
4. Always stand to the side of the cutting disc. Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the
disc. Always maintain a sufficient and safe distance from the cutting disc.
5. Never use the machine without the guards in position.
6. Never cut wood or metal with this saw. Do not cut workpieces containing the following materials: ropes, cords,
bands, cables, staples, nails, wires and etc.
7. The maximum cutting depth at 90° is 25/32 inch (20 mm). The maximum cutting depth for a 45° bevel cut is 1/2
inch (12.5 mm). Do not exceed the cutting capacity of your saw.
8. Before turning on the tool, make sure the workpiece is not in contact with the cutting disc. Let the cutting disc
reach full speed before feeding in the workpiece.
9. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Do not stack workpieces on top of each other. Multiple workpieces can shift
during cutting and fly out of control.
10. Keep the water level between the minimum and maximum level markings on the inside of the water tank. Do
not operate the tile saw with too little or too much water. Lack of water in the water tank may damage the tile blade.
