Figure 1
Always arrange a “drip loop” in the
Power Cord/Plug (34) connecting
the Tile Saw to a 120 volt, ground-
ed, electrical outlet. A drip loop is
that part of the Power Cord below the
level of the outlet, or the connector
if an extension cord is used, to pre-
vent water traveling along the Power
Cord and coming in contact with the
outlet. If the Power Plug or electrical
outlet does get wet, do not unplug the
Power Cord. Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that supplies power to
the tool. Then, unplug and examine
for presence of water in the outlet.
See Figure 1, above.
15. Use cold water only. Never use
hot water.
16. Never run the Tile Saw without a
water supply. Running the unit with-
out a water supply will cause irrepa-
rable damage.
17. Make sure the water supply used
for the Tile Saw is not dirty, sandy,
and does not contain any corro-
sive chemicals.
18. Make sure to change the water
when necessary while in use and
clean and rinse out the Tub after
every use.
19. Never leave the Tile Saw unattend-
ed when it is plugged into an elec-
trical outlet. Turn off the Tile Saw,
and unplug it from its electrical outlet.
20. Always keep the water level at the
recommended level. Fill the Tray
(17) until it is about 3/4 completely
submerged, but do not overfill.
21. Avoid splashing water on the
Motor (42), Power Switch, Power
Cord/Plug, or any other electrical
component. Make sure to stand on
a dry, insulated surface such as a
rubber mat while using the Tile Saw.
22. To avoid accidental injury, always
wear heavy duty work gloves when
changing the Saw Blade. Before
using the Tile Saw, make sure the
Saw Blade is properly and securely
mounted on the Saw Spindle. Make
sure the Saw Blade is balanced, and
is not cracked or bent.
23. The Saw Blade will become hot
while cutting. Allow Blade to com-
pletely cool before handling.
24. Allow the Saw Blade to spin up to
full speed before feeding a work
piece into it. When turning off the
Tile Saw, allow the Saw Blade to spin
down and stop on its own. Do not
press against the Saw Blade to stop
it.
25. Do not force workpiece onto the
Saw Blade. Apply moderate pres-
sure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut
without being forced.
26. Turn off the Tile Saw and allow it
to stop on its own if the Blade is to
be backed out of an uncompleted
cut.
