ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
**Ampere rating (on tool data plate)
0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
Always use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
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.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 4,000 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 1.
This tool must be grounded. 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.
WARNING:
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
7 — English
ELECTRICAL
If the saw is used with an extension cord, ensure the connection of the tool’s power cord and the extension cord are not on the ground.
If a protected outlet is not available, do not use the saw until an outlet can be changed or auxiliary protection can be obtained. These auxiliary protection devices are available at your local retailer.
POSITION OF THE TILE SAW
See Figures 2 and 3.
To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. The operator should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the saw to the outlet. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.
If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the outlet.

TILE CUTTING WHEEL
For maximum performance and safety, it is recommended that you use the 10 in. cutting wheel provided with your saw. Additional cutting wheels of the same high quality are available at your local dealer.
WARNING:
Do not use cutting wheels rated less than the no­load speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury. Do not use wheel with cracks, gaps, or teeth.
WARNING:
To prevent possible electrical hazards, have a qualified electrician check the line if you are not certain that it is properly wired.
INSTALLING THE CUTTING WHEEL
See Figures 24 and 25.
WARNING:
A 10 in. tile cutting wheel is the maximum wheel capacity of the saw. Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow wheel washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger wheels will come in contact with the wheel guard, while thicker wheels will prevent the wheel nut from securing the wheel on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.
Loosen wheel guard lock by turning counterclockwise
and open the cutting wheel guard.
Depress and hold the spindle lock. Using the wheel wrench provided, remove the wheel nut.
Release the spindle lock button.

pressure.
Turn the motor head lock knob clockwise to lock. Push in the lock pin.
NOTE: For all through cuts, place the saw in the locked position.
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 wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile until the wheel is back on track.
To avoid this problem, use the miter guide whenever possible. Another problem is cutting difficult material. To prevent
chipping of the material at the end of the cut, use a plunge cut.
NOTE: A more shallow blade adjustment may help minimize chipping, see the Depth stop adjustments section.
Clean the saw table and miter guide frequently during use. Debris from the cut material can interfere with tool function.
