Grounding Instructions

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

110-120 VAC Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

1. 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.

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

3. 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 equipment­grounding conductor to a live terminal.

4. 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.

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

6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Grounding

Pin

Figure A: 125 VAC 3-Prong Plug and Outlet

7. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above
in Figure A: 125 VAC 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.
The tool has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated above in
Figure A: 125 VAC 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.

8. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances.

9. Do not use an adapter to connect
this tool to a different outlet.

Tile Saw Safety Warnings

For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating Saw

1. Wear eye protection.

2. Use saw-blade guard and spreader
for every operation for which it can be
used, including all through sawing.

3. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.

4. Use an appropriate push-stick when required.

5. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.

6. Do not perform any operation freehand.

7. Never reach around or over saw blade.

8. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all
times while sawing. Use a roller stand (not
provided) with larger workpieces if necessary.

9. To properly understand all safety warnings, be familiar
with the following safety terms and equipment:

a. Featherboard – A block with “fingers” that hold

the workpiece against the fence while sawing.

b. Through-sawing – A cut made from one side of the

workpiece to the opposite side, without stopping.

c. Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood or other soft

material with a notch cut into one end and which
is used to push short pieces of material through
saws. It provides a safe distance between the
hands and the cutting tool. Must be narrower than
the cut width to prevent contact with the blade.

d. Freehand – Feeding a workpiece through the

saw without using a fence or guided support
to guide it. NOT A SAFE METHOD.

e. Kerf – The gap made by the saw in the workpiece.

f. Kickback – A sudden reaction to a pinched,

bound, or misaligned blade, causing
an uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and
out of the saw toward the operator.

g. Spreader – A metal plate that follows the

saw blade to keep the kerf (gap) from closing
on the saw blade. Spreaders, except riving
knives, must be aligned to the blade after
blade adjustment to prevent binding.

10. As noted previously, Kickback is a sudden reaction
to a pinched, bound, or misaligned blade, causing an
uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw
toward the operator.
Kickback is usually a result of tool misuse and can be
limited or avoided by following the precautions below:

• Fence must be completely
parallel to the saw blade.

• Workpiece must be free from flaws
and from foreign objects.

• Support large workpieces along their
entire length. Large workpieces tend
to bend, grabbing the blade.

• Maintain control of the workpiece. Do not
allow the workpiece to rest against the
moving blade without holding onto it.

• If the blade binds or a cut is interrupted, turn
off the power switch and hold the workpiece
still until the blade stops. Correct the cause
of blade binding before proceeding.

11. Check guards for proper operation with saw
disconnected from power before each use.
Do not disable any guard. Do not operate
saw if any movable guard does not move
freely and close instantly. Make sure any
movable guard does not touch the blade in
all angles, depths of cut, and positions.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

12. Keep the guard in place while through­sawing. Verify that the spreader lines up
with the blade to prevent binding.

Tile Saw Safety Warnings (cont.)

POSITION OF TILE SAW

Tile Saw

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

Figure B: Drip Loop

13. To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or
receptacle getting wet, position tile saw to one
side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent
water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
The user should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord
connecting the saw to a receptacle. The “drip loop”
is that part of the cord below the level of the
receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord
is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle.

Power Cord

EXTENSION CORDS

16. Use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use. These extension cords are identified
by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor
tools; store indoors while not in use.” Use only
extension cords having an electrical rating not
less 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.

Drip Loop

17. WARNING – To reduce the risk of electrocution,
keep all connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands.

18. 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.

14. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug
the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker
that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term
exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups
to ensure medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women or
people who have impaired blood circulation to
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should
not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
