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 identified 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 and breathing protection must be

NIOSH-approved for the specific 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo- ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
