W RNING
• Use top guard for every operation for which it can be
used.
• Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,
scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related feed or
supported devices for the operation planned. Small
debris or loose pieces of tile or other objects that contact
the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed at the
operator.
• This tool is not equipped with provisions for
attaching an auxiliary fence. Ensure that the work piece
is supported by the fence before cutting.
• provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the
saw table for wider or long workpieces.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
extension or as additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the
workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you
and the helper into the spinning wheel.
• let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece. This will help avoid thrown workpieces.
• cut only one workpiece at a time. Multiple workpieces
cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind
on the blade or shift during cutting.
• after turning saw off, wait for blade to stop before
removing cutoff pieces or changing settings.
• The cutoff piece must not be jammed against or
pressured by any other means against the spinning
tile blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, it could get
wedged against the blade and thrown toward you.
• if the workpiece or blade becomes jammed or
bogged down, turn tile saw "off" by releasing
switch. wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug
the tile saw, then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with jammed workpiece could cause
loss of control or damage to tile saw.
• feed work into blade against the direction of rotation
of the blade only.
There are additional safety instructions for particular operations of the saw in the operating section.
"READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed
BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.
Read the rest of the manual for safe operation.

Safety
• Do not reach in back of the saw blade with either
hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove
scraps, or for any other reason. The proximity of the
spinning tile blade to your hand may not be obvious and
you may be seriously injured.
• Do NoT remove small pieces of cut-off material that
may become trapped inside the blade guard while the
saw is running. This could endanger your hands or
cause a kickback. Turn saw "off" and wait until
blade stops.
• Dull, gummy or improperly sharpened or set cutting tools
can cause material to stick, jam, stall the saw, or kickback
at the operator. Minimize potential injury by proper cutting
tool and machine maintenance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
FREE A STALLED SAWBLADE WITHOUT FIRST
TURNING THE SAW OFF.
• empty water from tile saw base before transporting.
Water left in base can splash into electrical components.
Some dust created by power sanding,
W RNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known 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.
