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.
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.
DANGER
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.

Safety
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
