Safety

! WARNING	“READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed
	BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.

•cut only one workpiece at a time. Multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

•Be certain the tile saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before using. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the tile saw becoming unstable.

•This tool is not equipped with provisions for attaching an auxiliary fence. Insure that the work piece is supported by the fence before cutting.

•Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning wheel.

•The cutoff piece must not be jammed against or pressured by any other means against the spinning tile blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown toward you.

•let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will help avoid thrown workpieces.

•if the workpiece or blade becomes jammed or bogged down, turn tile saw “off” by releasing switch. wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tile saw, then work to free the jammed material.

Continued sawing with jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to tile saw.

Some dust created by power sanding, ! WARNING sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

•There are additional safety instructions for particular operations of the saw in the operating section. Read the rest of the manual for safe operation.

locaTioN

Use the tile saw in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is forced to stand in line with the blade.

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.

To reduce the risk of electrocution, ! DANGER DoN’T unplug the cord if the plug or

receptacle gets wet. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
