Important Safety Instructions for All Tools
_ ARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before
operating the wet tile saw. Failure to heed these warnings may result in
personal injury and serious damage to the saw. When servicing this tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Have damaged cords replaced by an authorized
service center.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resist-
ance 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 fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• Improperconnectionoftheequipment-groundingconductorcanresultinariskofelec-
tric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conducto_ If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary do not connect the equipment-grounding con-
ductor to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or ff in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or wom cord immediately
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The
tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your
unit is intended for use on less than 150 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch
a. If it is for use on 150 to 250 V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch d. An
adapter, sketches b and c, is available for connecting sketch A type plugs to 2-prong recep-
tacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, orthe like, extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is avail-
able for a plug as shown in sketch d. ADAPTER SHOWN IN SKETCHES B and C IS NOT
FOR USE IN CANADA.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the
ground.
t& WARNING: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is provided for use with the saw
Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for an added
measure of safeOz When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed to the
power supply before the extension cord.
Z&WARNING: The water pump must be plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle.
NOTE: Do not run the pump dry
WARNING: Test GFCI before each use:
1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should tum red.
2. Press test button. Red indicator should disappea_
3. Press reset button for use. Do not use if above test fails.
_,CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Repair or replace damaged cords. Always replace cord with a GFCl cord.
A WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a conductive fluid.
A WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury including the following:
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working orde_
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before fuming it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
• USEPROPEREXTEN$1ONCORD. Makesureyourextensioncordisingoodcondition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 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. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
