SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TILE CUTTER
Keep guards in place and in working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
DONT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well lit.
ALWAYS REMAIN ALERT. Remain alert when the tile
saw is in use, inattention on the part of the operator
may lead to a serious injury.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe
distance from the work area.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. With padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
DONT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
DONT FORCE MATERIAL. Do not force the material being
cut. Always let the blade cut at its own speed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery
which may get caught in moving parts. Non slip foot­wear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday

eye-glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they

are NOT safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vice to hold work when
practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
DONT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
MOTOR. Do not directly wash the bottom of the motor.
DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters etc.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure switch is in an off position before plugging in.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons. Make sure you use the correct blade for the
job you are doing.
ELECTRICAL PLUG. This tile saw is equipped with a three
– prong electrical plug. Do not alter the plug or use a
two – prong socket.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,

a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function – check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other parts that
are damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
POSITIONING OF THE TILE CUTTER

• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or

socket getting wet, position the tile cutter to one side of

a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from

dripping onto the socket or plug. The user should
arrange a ‘drip loop’ that is part of the cord below the
level of the socket, or connecter if an extension cord is
used, to prevent water travelling along the cord and
coming into contact with the socket.

• If the plug or socket 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 water.
