IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL TOOLS

WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction
manual before operating the wet tile saw. Failure to
heed these warnings may result in personal injury and
serious damage to the saw. When servicing this tool,
use only identical replacement parts. Have damaged
cords replaced by an authorized service center.
Grounding Instructions
• 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.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a 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 plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a
3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit
the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green
and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal. If your unit is intended for use on less than 150V,
it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch a. If it is for
use on 150 to 250V, it has a plug that looks like that shown
in sketch D. An adapter, sketches B and C, is available for
connecting sketch A type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as
a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a
plug as shown in sketch D. ADAPTER SHOWN IN SKETCHES B
and C IS NOT FOR USE IN CANADA.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground.

WARNING: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
is provided for use with the saw. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may
be used for an added measure of safety. When using
an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed to the
power supply before the extension cord.

WARNING: The water pump must be plugged into a
GFCI protected receptacle.
NOTE: Do not run the pump dry.

WARNING: Test GFCI before each use:
1 . Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should
turn red.
2 . Press test button. Red indicator should disappear.
3 . Press reset button for use. Do not use if above
test fails.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged
cords. Always replace cord with a GFCI cord.

WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a
conductive fluid.
