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
TABLE 1 below.
•
THIS TILE SAW MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The risk of electric shock and bodily injury are greatly
increased if it is not, particularly when used in damp
locations or in proximity to plumbing.
EXTENSION CORDS
1.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use. These extension cords are identified by a marking
"Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances: store
indoors while not in use." Use only extension cords
having an electrical rating equal to or greater 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.
2.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug
with wet hands.
3.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the tile saw. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of
safety.
4.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use a cord heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss
power and overheating. TABLE 1 below shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

NOTE: When using an extension cord, ensure all cords are
no smaller than #12 gauge, rated at a 20-amp minimum,
and equipped with 3-prong plugs. Use of anything smaller
may result in overheating or burn out of the motor.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade
corresponds with the rotational direction of the motor.
2.
With the saw disconnected from the power supply,
rotate the blade by hand to ensure it is free from
obstruction.
3.
Always keep the blade-securing arbor and collars
clean.
4.
Ensure that the blade-securing bolt is securely
tightened.
5.
Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that the t i l e
to be cut is pressed firmly against the rip guide.
6.
Ensure the material being cut off has sufficient room
to move sideways. Failure to do so may result in the
off-cut binding against the blade.
7.
Never cut more than one tile at a time.
8.
Never cut pieces too small that are not held securely
against the rip guide, and provide enough space for
the hand to be a safe distance from the blade.
9.
Ensure that the table and surrounding area are clear
with the exception of the tile to be cut.
10. Before cutting a tile piece, let the saw blade run freely
for a few seconds. If it makes an unfamiliar sound or
vibrates excessively, switch it off immediately and
disconnect it from the power supply.
11. Let the blade reach full speed before commencing
the cut.
12. Let the blade come to a complete stop before
removing any jammed material from around the
blade area.
13. Never allow the blade to run dry. Failure to keep
the water tray at the recommended level will result
in possible over-heating of the diamond blade.
