SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. The 7 in. Portable Tile Saw contains a water basin to cool the cutting wheel. Several precautions are needed
to prevent the water from creating an electrical hazard. Water does collect on the cutting wheel and the tile-
cutting table as part of normal tool operation.
a. Do not fill water bath above the fill line (inside basin). Excess water may splash out as the cutting wheel
rotates through the bath, causing an electrical hazard.
b. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position the tile saw off 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' is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or
connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the
cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
DO NOT unplug the power supply cord if the plug or receptacle does get
c.
wet. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then, unplug the tool and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle
2. Always keep the blade guard in the down position while operating the tile saw. If the blade guard does not
move freely or remains stuck in the open position, discontinue use until the guard is fixed.
3. Feed the workpiece into the cutting wheel against the direction of rotation. Keep hands away from the cutting
wheel. Brace the workpiece to prevent kickback.
4. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power off and don't leave the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
TOOL USE AND CARE
CAUTION! Only use cutting wheels with a smooth edge free of openings and grooves.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force a tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool.
Maximize tool performance and safety by using the tool for its intended task.
2. This tool was designed for a specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an
unintended purpose.
3. Securely hold this tool using both hands, unless it is designed for single hand use. Using a tool with only one
hand can result in loss of control.
4. Maintain tools with care (see Maintenance).
5. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the tool before operation or connecting it to a power source. A
wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the risk of personal injury.
6. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the ignition switch is in the neutral or OFF position when not in use or
before connecting it to any power source.
