Important Safety Instructions for All Tools

WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before
operating the wet tile saw. Failure to heed these warnings may result in

personal injury and serious damage to the saw. When servicing this tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Have damaged cords replaced by an authorized
service center.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• 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. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of elec­tric shock. 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 equipment-grounding con­ductor to a live terminal.

• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your
unit is intended for use on less than 150 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch
a. If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch d. An
adapter, sketches b and c, is available for connecting sketch A type plugs to 2-prong recep­tacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be con­nected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is avail­able for a plug as shown in sketch d. ADAPTER SHOWN IN SKETCHES B and C IS NOT
FOR USE IN CANADA.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the

ground.

WARNING: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is provided for use with the saw.

Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for an added
measure of safety. When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed to the
power supply before the extension cord.

WARNING: The water pump must be plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle.

NOTE: Do not run the pump dry.

WARNING: Test GFCI before each use:

1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should turn red.

2. Press test button. Red indicator should disappear.

3. Press reset button for use. Do not use if above test fails.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Repair or replace damaged cords. Always replace cord with a GFCI cord.

WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a conductive fluid.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be fol-

lowed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that

keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet

locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lighted.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.

• MAKE WORKSHOPKID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter

keys.

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not

designed.

• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• 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. Air vents often cover
moving parts and should also be avoided.

• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.

• SECURE WORK. Always place tile flat on cart and securely against fence.

• NEVER USE A PAN HEATER OR OTHER HEAT SOURCE FOR HEATING WATER.

Damage to the tool, fire or personal injury could result.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per-

formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as cutting

wheels, clamps, extensions, and the like.

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-

tion before plugging in.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cut-

ting tool is unintentionally contacted.
