25. WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
26. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TILE SAWS
1. DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE SERVICING, WHEN CHANGING CUTTING WHEELS, AND CLEANING.
2. USE SPLASH HOOD FOR EVERY OPERATION FOR WHICH IT CAN BE USED.
3. 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 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.
895736 - 08-31-00.qxd 2/14/02 3:54 PM Page 3

4. 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.
5. WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE, THE SWITCH SHOULD BE LOCKED IN THE OFF POSITION TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE TOOL.
6. MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS AND HANDS ARE NOT IN THE CUTTING LINE OF THE BLADE.
7. USE ONLY CONTINUOUS WET CUT DIAMOND BLADES RATED AT 6000 RPMS OR GREATER. Use tool only with smooth edge cutting wheels free of openings and grooves.
8. CHECK WATER LEVEL AND OPERATION OF PUMP BEFORE EACH USE.
9. REPLACE DAMAGED CUTTING WHEEL BEFORE OPERATING TILE SAW.
10. DO NOT FILL WATER BATH ABOVE WATER FILL LINE.
11. ONLY PLUG WATER PUMP CORD INTO MOTOR RECEPTACLE.
12. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED ON THE CIRCUIT(S) OR OUTLET(S) TO BE USED FOR THE TILE SAW.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
MOTORS
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single-phase 25 to 60 cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification plate of the tool. Several models, however, are designed for A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage and current rating.
CAUTION: Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do may seriously damage the tool.
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop, which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sixes will be found in this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
895736 - 08-31-00.qxd 2/14/02 3:54 PM Page 4

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 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.
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.
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 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.
CAUTION: Keep the extension cord away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not be a tripping hazard or contact material being placed into or removed from the machine.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
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.
RECOMMENDED EXTENSION CORD SIZES FOR USE WITH PORTABLE ELECTRIC TOOLS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
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
895736 - 08-31-00.qxd 2/14/02 3:54 PM Page 5
Page 6

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 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 type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 1A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. 1B, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Fig. 1B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
