accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presenceof flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY

operating a power tool. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.

long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. ALWAYS avoid accidental starting. BE SURE switch is in the "Off" position
before plugging in. DO NOT carry tools with your finger on the switch. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the
"On" position invites accidents.

A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.

workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
10. DO NOT use the tool if the switch does not turn it "On" or "Off". Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
11. ALWAYS disconnect the plug from the power source before making
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT" We recommend using a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
protected receptacle because the blade of this saw is used in close proximity to water.
1. This tile saw is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug. DO NOT alter the plug or
use a 2-prong receptacle.
2. The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet you are planning to use.
3. Your local electrical code may require slightly different power cord plug
connections. If These Differences Exist, refer to and make the proper
adjustments per your local code BEFORE your tool is plugged in and turned on.
4. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
5. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug, as shown in Figure 1. The plug must be plugged
into a GFCI protected matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances
6. DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
7. A temporary GFCI protected adapter may be used to connect this plug to a
2-prong outlet, if a properly grounded 3-prong outlet is not available.
8. This temporary adapter Should Be Used Only Until a properly grounded
3-prong outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
9. The green-colored (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor and must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly
grounded outlet box:
10. Improper connecUon of the equipment-grounding adapter can result In a
risk of electrical shock.
11ill repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
the equipment-grounding adapter to a live terminal.
12. If you do not fully understand the grounding Instructions, or If you are In
doubt as to whether the tool Is properly grounded, check with a qualified
electrician or service person.
13. ONLY USE 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that will accept the tool's plug.
14. ALWAYS repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. ALWAYS avoid the possibility of getting the plug or receptacle wet.
See Positioning the Saw on page 6.
16. ONLY USE UL Listed extension cords with this product. Other extension cords
may not supply sufficient power causing the tool to overheat. BE SURE that the
extension cord you use will supply sufficient power to the tool.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
WARNING: If not properly grounded and GFCI protected this tool can
cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp locations, in
proximity to plumbing, or out of doors. If an electrical shock occurs there is
the potential of a secondary hazard, such as your hands contacting the
saw blade.
