**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
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 “Accept- able 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
Grounding Instructions
See Figure 1, page 17.
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 equipment- grounding 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 ordi- nances.
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, page 17. 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
