Top Guard installation

Place bottom edge of top guard arm underneath table top at
rear of blade. Insert and tighten the two securing screws
(Fig. 4).
Top Guard arm adjustment
1. Remove the top guard by loosening the knob that secures
it in place.
2. Loosen the two securing screws (Fig. 4) and ensure that
the arm is in alignment with the tile blade.
3. Tighten the two securing screws.
Tile Saw location
Use the tile saw in a well lit area and on a level surface,
clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and
falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual
observer is forced to stand in line with the blade.
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle
getting wet, position tile saw 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" in
the cord connecting the saw to a receptacle. The "drip loop"
is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or
the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water
traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the
receptacle.
To reduce the risk of electrocution,
DANGER
DoN'T unplug the cord if the plug or
receptacle gets wet. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug
and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

filling the water Trough

Fill the water trough with as much water as possible, but do
not over-fill. Do not add chemicals or detergents to the
water. (Fig. 6)
Lack of water may damage the tile blade.
CAUTION
Never turn on the machine without enough
water in the tray. Add water if you notice saw dust in the air.
