Extension Cords

outlet that looks like the one illustrated in FIGURE 2 (A). The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in FIGURE 2 (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in FIGURE 2 (B) AND

(C), may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in FIGURE 2 (B) if a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid prongs extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY CAN OCCUR IF OPERATED IMPROPERLY.

•Keep fingers and loose clothing away from rotating blade.

•Use extreme caution when cutting tile. Make sure hands and fingers are clear from the blade groove in the sliding table. Severe abrasion, cuts , or pinching of hands or fingers can occur as the table is advanced, particulary at the end of its travel.

•Electrical shock can occur if operating instructions are not followed.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING SAW.

•Wear eye protection.

•Use splash hood for every operation for which it can be used.

•Unplug saw before servicing, when changing cutting wheels, and cleaning.

•Use tool only with smooth-edge cutting wheels free of openings and grooves.

•Replace damaged cutting wheel before operating.

•Do not fill water tray above water fill line.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION, KEEP ALL CONNECTIONS DRY AND OFF THE GOUND. DO NOT TOUCH PLUG WITH WET HANDS.

1.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.

2.Gound 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 having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

3.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss power and overheating. TABLE 1 below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

TABLE 1

		Volts		Total length of cord in feet
Ampere Rating		120 V	25 ft.	50 ft.		100 ft.	150 ft.
Ampere Rating		240 V	50 ft.	100 ft.		200 ft.	300 ft.

NOTE: When using an extension cord, ensure all cords are no smaller than #12 gauge, rated at a 20-amp minimum, and equipped with 3-prong plugs. Use of anything smaller may result in overheating or burn out of
