MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Motor Specifications
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. This saw is wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz. alternating
current. Before connecting the motor cord to power source, make certain the switch is in the
"OFF" position and be sure the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on
the tile saw nameplate.
Connection To A Power Source
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded GFCI type outlet protected by a 15-amp
dual element time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure that your outlet, as pictured on this
page, is properly grounded; have it checked by a qualified electrician.
DANGER
DANGER
objects. If shocked, your reaction could cause your hands to hit the tool.
DANGER
immediately to avoid shock or fire hazard.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts and is equipped with a
3-conductor cord and grounding type plug, approved by
Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian Standards
Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket
and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the
ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of
the two-prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE
GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a qualified
electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE-prong outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Extension Cords

Always use proper extension cord. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the
table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use only 3-wire
extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool's plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch the metal prongs on the plug when
installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
Failure to properly ground this power tool can cause electrocution or
serious shock, particularly when used near metal plumbing or other metal
If power cord is worn, cut or damaged
in any way, have it replaced
