GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of re,
electric shock and personal injury.
Read all instructions before attempting to operate the
product and save these instructions.
■Know your power tool. Read the owner’s operating
manual carefully. Learn the applications and limitations
of the product as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.
■Guard against electrical shock by preventing body
contact with grounded surfaces. For example,
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
■Keep guards in place and in good working order.
■Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
■Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents. Do not leave tools or pieces of wood
on the saw while it is in operation.
■Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to
rain. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use tool in the
presence of flammable liquids or gases.
■Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from
work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension
cord while operating.
■Do not force tool. It will do the job better and safer at
the feed rate for which it was designed.
■Use right tool. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose
not intended.
■Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
■Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, or jewellery. They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid
footwear (rubber soled boots) are recommended when
working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
■Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant
lenses; they are not safety glasses.
■Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold work when
practical, it is safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate the tool.

■Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged.
■Ground all tools. If tool is equipped with three-prong
plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle.
■Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood or if in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded.
■Use only correct electrical devices: 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
■Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the

yDisconnect saw before servicing, when changing
cutting blades, and cleaning.
yUse tool only with smooth edge cutting blades free
of openings, grooves, and teeth.
yReplace damaged cutting blade before operating.
yDo not fill water bath above water fill line.
■Always use blades with correct size and shape of
arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss
of control.
■Use only blades specified in this manual, complying
with EN 13236.
■Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 220-240 V,
AC only (normal household current), 50 Hz. Do not operate
this product 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 no-load speed of this tool is approximately 2,900 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load
or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is
as important as the horsepower rating of the motor. A line
intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool

WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections
dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet
hands.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not t the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
WARNING
Improper installation of the grounding plug could
result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green-
coloured insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
grounding wire.
Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
Only connect the product to an outlet having the same
conguration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this
product.
If the saw is used with an extension cord, ensure the
connection of the power cord of the tool and the extension
cord are not on the ground. Auxiliary devices should
always be plugged into the wall outlet and not at the
connection of an extension cord and the power tools’
power cord.
POSITION OF THE TILE SAW
See Figure 1.
To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting
wet, position tile saw to one side of a wall-mounted outlet
to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug.
The operator should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord
connecting the saw to the outlet. The “drip loop” is that part
of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector if
an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.
If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power
to the tool then unplug and examine for the presence of
water in the outlet.
