EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Ampere rating (on tool data plate)
	0-2.0	2.1-3.4	3.5-5.0	5.1-7.0	7.1-12.0	12.1-16.0
Cord Length	Wire Size (A.W.G.)
25'	16	16	16	16	14	14
50'	16	16	16	14	14	12
100'	16	16	14	12	10	—
**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit. NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

Always use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use". Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.

WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3,450 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Grounding pin
2. Ground fault outlet

This product must be grounded. 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 equipmentgrounding 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.

WARNING:
Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in Figure 1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

If the saw is used with an extension cord, ensure the connection of the tool's power cord and the extension cord are not on the ground. Auxiliary devices should always be plugged into the wall outlet and not at the connection of an extension cord and the power tools' power cord.

If a protected outlet is not available, do not use the saw until an outlet can be changed or auxiliary protection can be obtained. These auxiliary protection devices are available at your local retailer.

POSITION OF THE UNIT

1. Power cord
2. Drip loop

1. Power cord
2. Drip loop

To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. The operator should arrange a "drip loop" in the cord connecting the saw to the outlet. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.

If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the outlet.

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

MAKING CUTS

Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard-to-mark, place masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.
A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the marked line. Once you've strayed from the mark, you can not force the wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead, back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile until the wheel is back on track.
To avoid this problem, use the rip guide when making cross cuts, the miter guide for miter cuts and the adjustable right side table for making bevel cuts, whenever possible.

TO MAKE A CROSS CUT

Cross cuts are straight cuts. The material is fed into the cut at a 90° angle to the wheel.

• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.
• Set the rip guide to desired width, and secure in place.
• Place the material on the table and firmly against the rip guide.
• Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.
• Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
• Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.
• Hold the material firmly against the rip guide and feed the material into the cutting wheel.
• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material.

TO MAKE A 45° DIAGONAL CUT

45° Diagonal cuts are also referred to as "long point to long point cuts".

• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material.
• Slide miter guide onto rip guide.
• Adjust miter guide to 45° using angle scale and tighten securely with knob.
• With rip guide at desired width, secure in place.
• Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.
