• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts and should
also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Always place tile flat on cart and securely
against fence.
• Never use a pan heater or other heat source for heating
water. Damage to the tool, fire or personal injury
could result.
• DON'T 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.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing
accessories, such as cutting wheels, clamps, extensions,
and the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the
instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use
of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• 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 part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a cutting wheel with
the direction of rotation only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
• REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
Additional Safety Rules for Wet Tile Saw

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep
all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch
plug with wet hands.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
 hearing loss.
CAUTION: Do not connect unit to electrical
power source until complete instructions are read
and understood.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Keep hands out of path of saw cutting wheel. Never cut
a piece where hand would be 3" (76 mm) or less from
cutting wheel.
• Do not operate saw without cover in place.
• Do not perform any operation freehand, that is without
holding the workpiece firmly against the fence and guide.
• Never reach in back of the cutting wheel.
• DO - Use cutting cart extension
• DON'T - Cut dry. If cutting wheel is not cooled with water,
serious damage will occur. Dry cutting will increase
exposure to harmful airborne dust.
• Turn off the tool and wait for cutting wheel to stop before
moving the workpiece or changing settings.
• To reduce risk of injury, return the carriage to the full rear
position after each cut.
• DO - Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere
time-delay fuse or a circuit breaker.
• DO - Make certain the cutting wheel rotates in the correct
direction as indicated by the arrow on the cutting wheel.
• DO - Be sure all clamp handles and knobs are tight before
starting any operation.
• DO - Be sure all cutting wheel and clamp washers are
clean and recessed sides of collars are against cutting
wheel. Tighten arbor screw securely.
• DO - Keep the cutting wheel properly aligned.
• DO - Keep the motor air slots free of chips and dirt.
• DO - Keep hands out of the path of the saw cutting wheel.
