POSITION OF TILE SAW
1. To avoid the possibility of the tool 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 ar-
range 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.
2. If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the
fuse or circuit breaker that supplies pow-
er to the tool. Then unplug and examine
for presence of water in the receptacle.
EXTENSION CORDS
3. Use only extension cords that are in-
tended for outdoor use. These extension
cords are identied by a marking “Ac-
ceptable for use with outdoor tools; store
indoors while not in use.” Use only ex-
tension 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 discon-
nect the extension cord from the recep-
tacle before disconnecting the product
from the extension cord.
4. WARNING – To reduce the risk of elec-
trocution, keep all connections dry and
off the ground. Do not touch plug with
wet hands.
5. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
tile saw. Receptacles are available hav-
ing built-in GFCI protection and may be
used for this measure of safety.
6. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD
DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR RE-
MOVED. Moving guards must move
freely and close instantly.
7. The use of accessories or attachments
not recommended by the manufacturer
may result in a risk of injury to persons.
8. When servicing use only identical re-
placement parts.
9. Do not depress the spindle lock when
starting or during operation.
10. Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards
agency. Unapproved safety equipment
may not provide adequate protection.
Eye protection must be ANSI-approved

NIOSH-approved for the specic hazards
in the work area.
11. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
