WARNING!

• Use the proper extension cord. Make sure to use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry

the current required by the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating of the tool.

• Use the extension cord only for intended purpose. Do not pull the extension cord to remove it

from the power socket.

CAUTION!

In all cases, verify that the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION:

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CUL REQUIREMENTS. FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.

The tool is loud and the sound can cause hearing damage. Always wear ear protection to help prevent hearing damage and loss. Failure to comply may result in moderate injury.

USE DUST MASK:

Some dust created by sawing contains chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals come from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.

POSITION OF TILE SAW

• To avoid the possibility of the appliance 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 the 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 into contact with the

receptacle.

• 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS:

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 a green outer surface, 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 technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. 2. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in loss of power and overheating. The table on the next page shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord, or have it repaired by a qualiﬁed person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

• Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must consist of not less than #12 wire with a 20 A time-delayed fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the Off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

Fig. 16

MAKING CUTS

Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard to mark, place masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.

A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the marked line. Once you’ve strayed from the mark, you can not force the cutting disc back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile, slicing off a small amount of tile until the cutting disc is back on track.

To avoid this problem, use the parallel cutting guide when making cross cuts, the mitre cutting guide for mitre cuts and the tilting 45° vertical fence for making bevel cuts, whenever possible.

USING THE PARALLEL CUTTING GUIDE AND MITRE CUTTING GUIDE (Fig. 16)

The parallel cutting guide (1) can be used from both the left and right side of the cutting disc.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE A MITRE CUT (Fig. 19)

Mitre cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners on material, decorative chair rails and base moldings with the material at any angle to the cutting disc other than 90°. Mitre cuts tend to “creep” during cutting. This can be controlled by holding the workpiece securely against the mitre cutting guide.

• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.

• Slide mitre guide onto parallel cutting guide from front.

• Set the parallel cutting guide to desired width, and

tighten the locking knob to secure in place.

• Adjust mitre guide to desired angle, using angle scale, and tighten securely with locking knob.

• Make sure the material is clear of the cutting disc before turning on the saw.

• Turn the On/Off switch to the ON position.

• Let the cutting disc build up to full speed and wait for the cutting disc to get wet before moving the

material into the cutting disc.

• Hold the material ﬁrmly against the mitre cutting guide and slide mitre cutting guide along parallel cutting guide. Feed the material into the cutting disc.

• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting disc to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

Do not at any time let brake ﬂuids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come into contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufﬁcient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions.

CUTTING DISC

For maximum performance and safety, it is recommended that you use the 7" (17.8 cm) cutting disc provided with your saw. Additional cutting discs of the same high quality are available at your local dealer.

CHANGING THE CUTTING DISC (Fig. 22-24)

A 7" (17.8 cm) tile cutting disc is the maximum cutting capacity of the saw. Never use a cutting disc that is too thick to allow ﬂange to engage with the ﬂats on the motor shaft. Larger wheels will come into contact with the upper protective guard, while thicker wheels will prevent the hex nut from securing the cutting disc on the motor shaft. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

WARNING!

Do not use cutting discs rated less than the no-load speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury. Do not use cutting discs with cracks, gaps, or teeth.

CAUTION!

• Product damage! Be sure to observe the rotational direction of the cutting disc when ﬁtting! Be sure to observe the free-wheeling of the cutting disc when ﬁtting!

• When ﬁtting, make sure that the cutting disc is placed correctly on the inner ﬂange. The inner ﬂange can be moved freely on the motor shaft and has a section for holding the internal hole of the cutting disc. The hole of the outer ﬂange is not round and is used for the interlocking connection with the motor shaft.

WARNING!

Always ensure that the inner ﬂange is in place before placing cutting disc on motor shaft. Failure to do so could cause an accident, since the cutting disc will not tighten properly. Never use cutting discs that have openings, grooves or teeth on this tool.
