  • Page 3: Safety

    1. Safety READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING OR MAINTAINING THIS SAW. Most accidents that result from the operation and maintenance of Wet Saws are caused by the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs and by observing appropriate safety procedures.
  • Page 4 Important Safety Precautions: Read all Instructions before use. Always wear eye protection. • When operating the Saw, always wear eye protection, and make sure others in the work area wear eye protection, too. Wear a dust mask. • A face dust mask or respirator should be worn if the cutting operation is dusty.
  • Page 5 Secure your work. • Clamps or a vise should be used to hold work whenever practical. It is safer to keep your hands free to operate the Saw. Do not overreach. • Keep proper footing and balance at all times by not overreaching. Stay alert.
  • Page 6 Use the proper extension cord. • If using an extension cord, first make sure it is in good condition. Always be sure to use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. • An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage that will result in a loss of power and overheating.
  • Page 7 • Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the Saw is properly grounded. • Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3- pole receptacles that accept the Saw's plug.

This will reduce cutting efficiency and may cause the blade to wander or bend giving the illusion of an alignment problem.
