Connecting the Power
1.Place the power ON/OFF switch (Figure 10) in the OFF position (down).
2.Connect an extension cord of adequate current carrying capacity to the power plug on the electric motor.
3.MAKE CERTAIN that the correct size extension cord is used. Undersized wires will burn out motors. Use Table 6 to determine the correct extension cord size.

DANGER
NEVER grab or touch a live
power cord with wet hands, the
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution, and even death!
NEVER use a damaged or worn extension cable when connecting to a power source. Defective cables may cause damage
to the saw’s electric motor or electrical shock.
ALWAYS use a grounded
4.Plug the free end of the extension cord into an AC power receptacle. Whenever possible use a GFCI receptacle (Figure 11) to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Sawing Guides
Using the Cutting Table
The ruler guide has inches and centimeters marked along the top to allow convenient measurements and to promote precision cuts. See Figure 12.
A rip guide should be used with the cutting table to ensure precision while making cuts.

Using the MasterGuide Template Base
1.Set the template base (Figure 12) by positioning it on the desired dimension on the cutting table and tightening the universal clamp to the table. Make sure that the template base is firmly tightened.The template base can be used for 90° rip cuts from both the left and right side. The 45° diagonal cuts are quickly achieved with the specially designed fitted notches on the template base of 4", 6", 8" and 10"~14" tiles (Note the specifically shown dimensions on each notch).
