EXTENSION CORDS
1. USE ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that will accept the tool's plug.
2. Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in a loss of power and overheating of tool. For this tool, an AWG
(American Wire Gauge) size of a least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension
cord of 25- ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for extension cords of 50-ft.
Extension cords 100=ft. or longer are not recommended. Remember, a smaller
wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger number (12-gauge wire has
more capacity than 14-gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number. When
operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or
"W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
3. AVOID the possibility of getting the plug or receptacle wet (Fig. 2.)
4. Have damaged tool cords repaired at Sears Service Center.

Z_ 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.
A CAUTION: DO NOT ABUSE the cord. NEVER use the cord to pull the
plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
A WARNING:
When plugging your tile saw into an electrical outlet,
always arrange a drip loop on the power cord.
i
. To avoid the possibility of the appliance
plug or receptacle getting wet, place the
tile saw near a wall-mounted receptacle.
Arrange a drip loop (Fig. 2) so that part of
the cord is below the receptacle, or the
connector if an extension cord is used.
Water will drip from the low point of the
loop. This will prevent water from traveling
along the cord to the receptacle or
connector.
If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO
NOT un-plug the cord. Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that is supplying power to the tool. Then unplug and examine to
see if water is present in the receptacle. Receptacle MUST be dry to use.
If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DISCONNECT THE FUSE OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER that is supplying power to the tool BEFORE unplugging the cord.
AFTER DiSCONNECTiNG THE CIRCUIT BREAKER, you can then unplug the cord.

SERVICE SAFETY
1. If any part of this saw is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way;
or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: SHUT OFF the
power switch and remove the saw plug from the power source and have the
missing, damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.
2. Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.
3. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR TILE WET SAWS
i_ Keep hands away from cutting area and blade.
1.
i
KNOW your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn the
applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious
injury.
2. CHECK for damaged parts before using tool. Check moving parts for proper
alignment or binding. Check for broken parts and mountings and all other
conditions that may affect the operation of the power tool.
3. KEEP your body positioned to either side of the saw blade and not in direct
line with the saw blade.
4. LET the blade reach full speed before beginning the cut.
5. DO NOT reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the
blade beneath the work.
