ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Disconnect saw before servicing, when changing cutting wheels,
and cleaning.
2. Use splash hood for every operation for which it can be used.
3. 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.
4. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug the cord.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool.
Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
5. When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the
OFF position to prevent unauthorized use of the tool.
6. Make sure your fingers and hands are not in the cutting line of
the blade.
7. Use only continuous wet cut diamond blades rated at 6000
RPMs or greater. Use tool only with smooth edge cutting wheels free of
openings and grooves.
8. Check water level and operation of pump before each use.
9. Replace damaged cutting wheel before operating tile saw.
10. Do not fill water bath above water fill line.
11. Only plug water pump cord into motor receptacle.
12. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tile saw.
